Yes, you can just bring a $20 portable fan and call it a day — and we saw plenty of people do that at last year’s VidCon. But if last year was the start of the portable fan trend, this year is the perfecting of it, as evidenced by the release of the Shark ChillPill.
The handheld fan dropped in March, offering an upgrade to a standard model: With digital controls and three interchangeable heads for staying cool in different ways, this is the most versatile fan available. There’s the standard bladeless fan, the cooling plate attachment that essentially serves as a mini ice pack on the go, and the misting head, which is exactly what it sounds like. With 11 hours of battery life, it’ll power you through long days in the California heat. At $149, it’s not cheap, but it’s also meant to last you far beyond a single sweaty convention — which, when you think about the climate change of it all, could very well be worth it. Not for nothing, the dual-barrel design means it’s a great addition to a desktop, making it as versatile for taking out and about as it is for giving yourself an air conditioning alternative (or additive) at home.
