Evaluation

"Heat stroke" was not a very common condition until a few decades ago. Now, it has been a familiar concern to be prevented, having increased with global climate change. As described that this product is designed to be "tempting to wear", the stylish appearance is formed with a well-balanced combination of form, color, and materials, and makes a clear departure from medical devices and sound devices. This product offers two size options in order to fit different neck shapes and sizes, and its achievement of providing conformable fitting to both male and female users was highly praised.
