New Products to Survive the Sweltering Heat! 10 Selected UV Protection and Cooling Items from Cainz Focusing on "Lightweight," "Compact," and "Cold Retention"

Cainz Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture, President and CEO: Masayuki Takaya) has been sequentially releasing original summer heat-prevention items equipped with UV protection and cooling functions at Cainz stores nationwide and on its official online shop since mid-April 2026.

Under its brand concept of "Lifestyle DIY," Cainz aims to make everyone's life more enjoyable through creativity and ingenuity, offering valuable products and services at affordable prices daily. This time, anticipating the coming "heat," we introduce 10 new products developed with a focus on lightness, portability, and sustained coolness to make daily "short-distance" and "mid-distance" outings like shopping and trips more comfortable.

Background: With severe heat becoming the norm, heat protection is necessary even for short-distance, short-duration outings.

As intense heat continues nationwide, rising temperatures and an increased risk of heatstroke are predicted for the summer of 2026. With May seeing rising daytime temperatures and summer-like days, there's a growing awareness of the heat even during short, nearby outings like shopping, nursery school runs, or stopping by somewhere on the way home from work. We are in an era where heat protection is required even for brief outings, such as playing in a nearby park with children, nursery school runs, or quick stops after work.

Especially for outings with children, this season tends to increase burdens such as:

- Carrying a lot of luggage - Drinks quickly becoming warm - Having both hands occupied when using a stroller

In response to this, Cainz focused on the consumer voice of "I want to take heat measures, but I don't want to increase my luggage," and prepared products emphasizing "lightweight," "compact," and "cold retention functions." This lineup aims to make daily "quick trips out" effortlessly comfortable. These items can be used in various "outing scenes," such as spending time with children in the park, summer vacation trips, festivals, and sports viewing. This summer, why not spend hot days comfortably by utilizing compact and convenient cool items?
