Wearable cooling: why neck fans are this summer's travel essential

Airport queues, city walks under the midday sun, festival crowds, long hikes… When the heat is on, holding a fan in your hand isn't always practical. That's where wearable cooling comes in.

How a neck fan works

Magnussen wearable Airflow fans rest comfortably around your neck. Their design is inspired by airplane airfoils: instead of blasting air in a single direction, they channel a steady, even flow of cool air around your neck, face and back, and they do it quietly.

Why travellers love them

• Hands-free: carry your bags, check your map or take photos while you stay cool.
• Quiet: low noise means you can wear one on public transport, at the office or during a call.
• Light: comfortable enough to wear for hours without noticing it.

Where to wear one

• Sightseeing on summer city breaks
• Waiting at stations and airports
• Festivals and outdoor events
• Hiking, golf and walking the dog
• Working in warm offices or workshops

Prefer a hat?

For long days in the sun, the FN7 Airflow hat combines shade with a built-in fan that cools your face while keeping your hands free. It's ideal for walking, hiking, golf, fishing and the beach.

Packing tips

• Charge fully the night before and keep a USB cable in your day bag.
• Start on a lower speed to save battery and turn it up only when you need it.
• Wipe the neck band after long, hot days to keep it fresh.
