Last July, UN Secretary-General Guterres stated in a press conference that "the era of global warming is over, and the era of global boiling has arrived." Indeed, the scorching heat that followed made us acutely aware of global boiling. It wasn't unusual to see people using handheld or neck-mounted fans; fan-equipped vests also became popular. However, the drawback of these vests is that wearing a backpack interferes with air circulation.
To address this problem, Montbell, an expert in outdoor activities like mountaineering, has introduced the Fan Blow Vest this season. Having tried it out, I can say it's a groundbreaking item for summer activities. Despite its effectiveness, it appears as a simple outdoor vest, suitable for daily wear as well. We spoke to Hirotaka Nagai from the Montbell Public Relations Department to learn more about this item.
Fan Blow Vest: Unisex 8,690 yen (tax included). Available in five colors: Blue Green (as shown), Dark Gray, Light Green, Light Gray, and Orange. Sizes include XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. The use of the fan requires a separately sold set of two fans for the Fan Blow System, priced at 6,600 yen (tax included), and a separately sold Fan Blow System battery 19V, priced at 14,630 yen (tax included).

Fans Positioned Asymmetrically Circulate Air, Providing Cooling Through Evaporative Heat

"We developed this product over about two years with the hope that people can comfortably enjoy climbing even in the hot summer. The biggest feature is the asymmetric placement of fans. Normally, fans are placed symmetrically in workwear, but for mountaineering, the shoulder harnesses of backpacks block the airflow.
