It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from. If you’ve lived in Singapore before, you’d know that it’s hot as hell.
Sure, there are loads of cooling places around Southeast Asia to escape to, like mountains in Thailand or volcanoes in Indonesia.
But going to those places all the time just isn’t feasible, especially when you’ve got limited leave days and a depleting bank account.
Thankfully, there are certain gadgets out in the market that’ll help you keep cool when the sun gets too hot and you’re stuck in Singapore. Here are 10 of our favourites:
Lunatec’s Aquabot Cap
Drink from a bottle and spray mist at yourself at the same time? Damn, we’re sold. A few light pumps on the face would be great before a stuffy MRT ride.
Price: $27.21
Available via www.amazon.com.
MistyMate 14000G Twist & Mist Flexible Nozzle
The MistyMate kind of reminds us of those coffee shop sprinklers that give off mist, except that this gadget looks a whole lot cooler. You’re going to need an adapter for attaching it to hoses or spigots though.
Price: $32 (we made an exception here because this gadget’s so darn awesome)
Available via www.amazon.com.
Fan Hat
This hat looks absolutely ridiculous. But if all you care about is keeping cool, hey, the solar-powered fan on its front will definitely do the trick. Just don’t expect to score style points.
Price: $13.59
Available via www.amazon.com.
Frogg Toggs Cooling Towel
At first glance, this humble object may appear to be only a mere towel. Okay, fine. It is only just a towel, but it’s made to keep you cool for hours after a minute of soaking under running water. Neat or what?
Price: $19
Available via www.amazon.com.
Versa-Brella All Position Sun Umbrella
You’ll never be without shade again with the Versa-Brella All Position Sun Umbrella, a flexible and lightweight umbrella that can be set up and transported almost anywhere.
Price: $23
Available via www.amazon.com.
Cooling Mats
It’s not only outside where things can get blazing hot in Singapore. All too often, our homes are stuffy too. Although these cooling mats that you either sit on or place your feet on can help a lot.
Price: $2
Available via world.taobao.com.
Cooling Pillows
Like the cooling mats, these pillows are filled with cooling gel to keep you nice and cold on hot days. Their super cute designs don’t hurt too.
Price: $2
Available via world.taobao.com.
Popsicle Maker
Nothing beats an ice-cool popsicle on a sweltering hot day, and with this simple popsicle maker from Taobao, you’ll be able to do that from home on a daily basis (considering Singapore’s weather, it’ll probably be a daily basis).
Price: $1.99 to $4.62
Available via world.tmall.com.
Re-usable Ice Cubes
The great thing about re-usable ice cubes is that they not only keep your drinks chilly, they prevent dilution too, making them must-haves for any Summer day. Here are some colourful ones from Taobao.
Price: $2
Available via world.tmall.com.
Cooling Spray
This gadget’s name explains it all. Just a few pumps on your shirt will leave you feeling sweat-free and cool the whole day.
Price: $6.69
