【Heat Countermeasures】Cool the neck with a "surface"! The battery-free neck cooler is indeed convenient

The heat around the neck that bothers me during summer walks and commutes. This year, what caught my attention is the cooling ring created by the long-standing sock brand "Tabio." It can be reused without a battery, and I was attracted to the concept of cooling through a surface rather than just points.

A long-established sock brand has put serious effort into summer cooling products

During the summer, the discomfort of sweat accumulating around the neck during walks and commutes... I have tried cooling towels and ice packs every year, but they either don't last long or don't look smart. That's why I'm paying attention to the "Magic Ice Ring," a collaboration between Tabio, well-known for their socks, and the cooling product brand FIVES.

This popular item has surpassed a total of 10,000 units sold, and the 2026 model also includes a set with socks specifically designed for walking. It's a combination that can be used not only for the neck but also as a summer outing solution for the feet.

The design cools over a surface, which sets it apart from other cooling products

Many common cooling rings only touch a small part of the neck, but the Magic Ice Ring features a unique design that envelops the entire neck area with a surface. It contains PCM (Phase Change Material) derived from plants that freezes at around 18°C, gently cooling through the temperature difference with body heat.

The duration of cooling is about 60 to 90 minutes, which is sufficient to cover a morning commute or lunch outing. No battery is required, and by placing it in a cooler, it can refreeze in about 10 to 20 minutes, making it easy to reset even when you're out and about.

Durable and hygienic, a practical choice for adults during summer

The outer layer uses TPU material, which is antibacterial and covers hygiene. It has durability that clears a 60kg pressurized compression test, so there’s no problem carrying it in a bag.

If you choose a set with Tabio's walking-specific socks, you can simultaneously achieve comfort at the neck and feet. This combination, unique to the sock shop, provides total care for summer outings.

Comfort this summer starts from the neck

There are many cooling rings, but the design that cools through a surface and does not require a battery is one of a kind. How about preparing for this summer, starting with the neck?
