Keep Your Neck Cool, Beat the Heat! Full-Scale Launch of 3 Neck Cooling Items Perfect for Summer Heat Countermeasures!

Komeri Co., Ltd. (Location: Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture; President & CEO: Yuichiro Sasage), which aims to be a lifeline for communities through its home improvement centers 'Komeri Power' and 'Komeri Hard & Green,' has started selling three cool-down items that are useful in a wide range of situations: the 'Hinyari Kubimoto Belt' (Cool Neck Belt), 'Kubi ni mo Makeru Horeizai' (Cooling Pack for Neck), and 'Ice Bag,' from Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 'Komeri Power,' 'Komeri Hard & Green' stores, and the online shopping site 'Komeri.com' (excluding some stores).

In recent years, due to rising temperatures from early in the season and consecutive days of extreme heat, heatstroke prevention has become more important in our lives than ever before. In addition to indoor air conditioning, it is necessary to find ways to cool down effectively and without strain when outdoors or exercising. Therefore, under the theme 'Keep your neck cool, beat the heat,' Komeri has launched products that directly cool areas like the neck, where major blood vessels are located, to promote efficient body temperature regulation. With three items to choose from according to the customer's lifestyle and needs, we provide strong support for safely and comfortably getting through the dangerous summer heat.

【Product Features】
■Hinyari Kubimoto Belt (Cool Neck Belt)
This is a cooling pack set with a special cover that can be wrapped around the neck for a solid cool-down. Compared to the previous model, this model has increased the number of included cooling packs to two and has updated the specification from the conventional soft type (non-freezing) to a hard type (freezing). This makes it a type that is used after being completely frozen, improving the cooling level and duration, ensuring the coldness lasts even on extremely hot days. Furthermore, by making the shape slimmer, it is now much easier to insert into the special cover. Since the two cooling packs can be used in rotation by freezing them alternately, it reduces preparation time and can be used daily. The cover part that directly touches the skin is washable, so it can always be used cleanly. It is recommended for heatstroke prevention in all situations, including outdoor work like farming and gardening under the hot sun, as well as summer outdoor activities and sports.

■Kubi ni mo Makeru Horeizai (Cooling Pack for Neck)
This is a long, thin cooling pack that is useful not only as a spare for the 'Hinyari Kubimoto Belt' but also versatile on its own, such as by wrapping it in a towel you have at home to easily increase coolness. This is also a type that is used after freezing, so the coldness lasts a long time. It is the perfect item for those who want to prepare multiple packs in advance and rotate them for heat protection during household chores in the heat or long leisure activities.

■Ice Bag
This is a highly convenient item that does not need to be frozen in a freezer beforehand and can be used immediately just by adding ice and water when needed. This model features a wide-mouth design of about 6cm, making it easy to put in large ice cubes, and commercially available rock ice can be inserted without stress. It can be used anytime, anywhere as long as you can get ice and water, making it great for heatstroke prevention during outdoor activities and camping, and for icing after sports. Furthermore, it can also be used for various daily troubles such as sudden fevers, first aid for sprains and bruises, and cooling down headaches, toothaches, and tired eyes, so it is very reassuring to have one at home.
