Sony Thermo Technology Inc. will release the wearable thermo device kit 'REON POCKET 6' on May 12 (Tuesday). This product is the sixth generation of the 'REON POCKET' series, which can be worn around the neck to directly cool or warm the body surface at the contact area.
REON POCKET 6 incorporates flagship technology in a compact body. Optimized for a light and powerful cooling experience during commuting, it contrasts with the flagship model 'REON POCKET PRO Plus,' which is specialized for long continuous use. Compared to conventional models, it achieves up to a 2°C reduction in cooling/heating surface temperature*1.
*1 When 'Strong Cooling' is set in SMART COOL mode or SMART COOL⇔WARM mode, and the minimum cooling/heating surface temperature is compared with our conventional product RNP-5 after 10 minutes in a resting state at an ambient temperature of 35°C. May vary depending on usage conditions and environment.
■REON POCKET 6 Features
Newly developed compact DUAL thermo module. Up to 2°C lower cooling/heating surface temperature compared to conventional models*1
Equipped with a dedicated compact thermo module. It adopts an algorithm that pursues comfort during cooling, achieving up to a 2°C reduction in cooling/heating surface temperature*1. Furthermore, it employs the 'DUAL thermo module' mechanism common to the flagship model 'REON POCKET PRO Plus,' where two independent thermo modules operate alternately with varying strengths to sustain cooling. This condenses all previous cooling technologies.
*※The thermography during REON POCKET 6 operation uses RNPK-6 with 'Strong Cooling' set in SMART COOL mode. The thermography during REON POCKET 5 operation uses RNPK-5 with 'Strong Cooling' set in SMART COOL mode. However, conditions may vary depending on usage and environment.
New neckband adopting 'Adaptive Hold Design.' Compatible with various neck sizes
The neckband adopts an 'Adaptive Hold Design' that achieves both flexible adjustment to the neck and holding power, accommodating neck sizes from 28 to 46 cm. By increasing the diameter of the mechanical flexible tube inside the band, flexibility is improved, allowing it to conform smoothly to the neck. Additionally, a soft silicone band supporter is installed at the tip.
Adjustable airflow parts that can be extended and angled to suit preferences
The included airflow parts, which dissipate heat from inside the main unit, have evolved into 'Adjustable' parts that can be extended and have their exhaust port angle adjusted. The airflow parts can be adjusted according to the user's different neck shapes, preferences, and the height of the collar of their clothing, enabling the maintenance of cooling performance through inconspicuous and efficient exhaust.
Design that doesn't compromise style and operability for any scene
The main unit color adopts light gray, which blends well with clothing. It features a smooth design with rounded corners. This achieves a smart fit that doesn't compromise style. Furthermore, operation buttons have been newly installed on the side of the main unit. In addition to ON/OFF, modes can be switched and levels selected, allowing basic operations even when a smartphone cannot be taken out.
Flagship technology in a light and compact unit
This product generously incorporates the technology and design cultivated in the flagship model 'REON POCKET PRO Plus,' including the DUAL thermo module, operation buttons for basic operations on the main unit alone, the 'Curved Design' that conforms to the body, the 'Adaptive Hold Design' neckband that accommodates various neck sizes, and the 'Adjustable Airflow Parts.' It condenses the technology refined through previous improvements, achieving both powerful cooling and everyday ease of use.
By introducing this product, our company aims to expand its lineup to suit user preferences and lifestyles, and to develop products and services that enhance people's comfort by utilizing thermal design and sensing technology, thereby contributing to environmental impact reduction and solving social issues together with our partners.
