An article testing whether Sony's wearable device, the REON Pocket Pro Plus, can help combat heat while riding a scooter or motorcycle. Rather than cooling air like a conventional air conditioner, it uses a thermoelectric (Peltier) element placed on the neck to directly cool the body. Attention is on whether it can offer a new solution to beating the heat during midsummer riding.

With wearable heat countermeasures, it all comes down to whether it really works while riding. The idea of cooling the body directly rather than the air makes sense. That said, how a nape-mounted design interacts with wind and your helmet is something you can only tell by actually wearing it. As one countermeasure against brutal heat, I genuinely want to try this myself.

Cooling the neck to help keep concentration up sounds quietly useful.

Wonder how much the Pro Plus costs if you're buying it for motorcycle use.

Sony's wearable air conditioner, I've had my eye on this for a while.

If it actually works against that scorching-hot hell of waiting at traffic lights, I want one.

Doubtful it'd have much effect on a scooter with wind blowing past while riding.

Fine when stopped, but sounds iffy once you're riding with wind in your face.

Wonder if just cooling the back of the neck with a Peltier device is enough to get through midsummer.
