Best Belt Fan

If you deal with dreaded back or boob sweat, this belt fan offers a solution (though it’s not the most discreet). Pick one of the two soft, stretchy adjustable straps it comes with, and you can wear it around your waist either over or under your shirt to blow air up toward your sweatiest parts. It stayed in place well while I did chores around the yard. The back of the fan is covered with PCM cooling material, which feels like a gel beneath a plastic sheath, that the company claims absorbs heat and transfers it away from your body, The gel does feel cool to the touch, but I can’t say I noticed it when I was wearing the fan, and in some cases, it felt a little leaky and greasy. Still, this was one of few belt fans I could find in this shape. With a 4,000-mAh battery, 15 hours of battery life, and two fan speeds, this is a solid option for anyone who needs a hands-free, wearable fan.
