A real-world review for outdoor enthusiasts! This handheld fan: Lightweight + Long battery life + Power bank functionality

As an outdoor blogger who hikes weekly and camps monthly, I used to be overwhelmed by summer gear: neck fans made my neck ache, handheld fans died after just two hours, and my phone died while I had to lug a heavy power bank. In 35°C heat, I couldn't even reach for my gear. Then I came across this handheld fan. At 297g, it's light enough to slip into the side pocket of my backpack, offers a long battery life of 29 hours for a full day, and can double as a power bank for my phone. Its three speed settings and four natural wind settings make it perfect for everything from jungle hikes to mountaintop camping. If you're looking to travel light and stay cool outdoors, this review will explain why it's top of my 2024 outdoor gear list.

Ultra-light 297g design: Wear it with your neckband or handheld, ensuring a "burden-free" and cool experience outdoors.

Outdoor gear: "Even a gram lighter is a victory." This fan's weight perfectly hits the pain points of hikers and campers:

• Weight measurement: 50g lighter than a 330ml can of Coke. I held it in one hand for a 10km hike with no marks on my wrist. I've used 350g fans before, and my arms would become sore after just half an hour.
• Hanging it around your neck: With the included breathable lanyard, I can wear it around my neck while hiking. The wind blows directly to my chest, eliminating constriction and swaying. It also keeps it from sliding down my shoulders when I run or jump, making it more flexible than a hanging neck fan.
• Easy to store: Folded, it measures just 12 x 36 x 53.2cm, easily fitting into the side pocket of a backpack or the back pocket of jeans. It's about the same thickness as a wallet, making it easy to retrieve at security in just 10 seconds. No need to make room for a sleeping bag to carry the fan.

For outdoor enthusiasts who need to streamline their gear, "lightweight and compact" isn't just a virtue; it's a prerequisite for actually stuffing it into a backpack every day.

5200mAh Battery + 29-Hour Ultra-Long Standby: From sunrise hiking to late-night camping, no need to search for an outlet.

The biggest fear when hiking is "gear failing mid-trip." This fan's battery life has completely eliminated battery anxiety. The actual test results are astonishing:

• Hiking (mainly using setting 2 for natural wind, occasionally switching to high wind): I set out on a 15km hike at 8am on Saturday and descended at 7pm. The fan still had 30% battery left, without having to charge it once.
• Camping (setting 1 for natural wind all night): From setting up the tent at 6pm to packing up at 8am the next day, the fan lasted 14 hours, with enough battery left for the afternoon return trip.
• Emergency Backup: Even at setting 3 for high wind, it still lasted 6 hours. Last time, when I was caught in a sudden downpour at the top of a mountain, the powerful wind quickly dried out the moisture outside the tent, preventing my gear from getting moldy.

Compared to my previous 2000mAh fan, this one's battery life is a true "outdoor lifesaver." No more borrowing charging sockets from farmers in the mountains.

Three speed settings + four natural wind settings: Perfect for outdoor situations, from dense forests to mountaintops.

Outdoor wind conditions and temperatures vary greatly—strong winds are needed in the dense forests, while gentle breezes are needed on mountaintops. Natural wind mode is the ultimate "atmosphere enhancer" for camping:

Three speed settings: 1st setting: Gentle Breeze (≈38dB) is perfect for early morning hikes, with a breeze as gentle as a tree breeze, without disturbing the birds. 2nd setting: Comfortable, perfect for midday breaks, cooling the body without disturbing the tent. 3rd setting: Strong, ideal for temperatures above 35°C. 6m/s wind speeds directly dissipate body heat, drying sweat-soaked quick-drying clothing in 20 minutes.
4th setting: Natural wind mode simulates the natural breezes of forests, coastlines, grasslands, and more. Use "Coastal Wind" for camping. The sound of a campfire creates a cozy, beachside feel, offering a more immersive outdoor experience than fixed wind speeds.

Easy operation: A short press switches wind speeds, while a long press activates natural wind mode. Even with gloves on, you can operate the device blindly, eliminating the need to stop and read the manual. This is a great way to save time on the go.

Power Bank Function: Running out of battery on your phone? A fan can save the day

For outdoor enthusiasts, emergency charging is paramount, and this fan's hidden abilities are incredibly useful:

Charging test: It can charge an iPhone 15 1.2 times and wireless headphones 5 times. Last time, while hiking, a teammate's phone was only 5% charged, and it charged in 20 minutes, allowing us to contact rescue.

Dual-port convenience: It supports both Type-C and Apple Lightning ports. I brought my Android phone, and my teammate had an iPhone. No need to bring separate charging cables; the fan's own cable worked, saving space and two fewer cables in my backpack.

Safety protection: It supports overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection. It won't get hot while charging your phone, making it much safer than cheap outdoor power banks. It provides stable power even in backpacks above 30°C.

5. 4.5-hour Fast Charging: A quick charge before bed is enough for the whole day.

For tight outdoor itineraries, no one wants to wait for a long time to charge. This model's fast charging speed is perfectly suited for the pace of the outdoors:

Charging Efficiency: A 4.5-hour charge with an outdoor power bank (10W output) fully charges the device. Plug it in before bed in your tent at night, and it'll be fully charged in the morning, eliminating the need to stay up late waiting for charging.

Wide Compatibility: The Type-C charging port works with most outdoor chargers, such as solar panels and car chargers. Last time I was camping in the desert, I used a solar panel to top up the device, and it never stopped cooling.

Low Battery Alert: When the battery drops below 15%, the fan will vibrate slightly, but it won't shut down suddenly. When you see the alert, charge it for half an hour to get through the rest of your trip, eliminating the need to rush to find a power source.

Waterproof and drop-resistant design: No worries about outdoor bumps and bruises

The outdoor environment is complex, so durability is more important than appearance. This fan's durability reassures me:

Drop-proof test: I accidentally dropped it from a 1.2-meter-high rock while hiking. When I picked it up, I found only a minor scratch on the outer shell, with no damage to the blades or charging function. It's 10 times more durable than plastic fans.

IPX4 splash-proof: Even if it gets splashed by light rain, dew, or stream water, it still works after wiping it dry. Last time, while canyoning, the fan got wet, and it didn't stop or short-circuit. It's more suitable for outdoor use than ordinary handheld fans.

Dustproof grille: The high-density protective mesh on the fan head keeps out dust and leaf debris. For use in deserts and dense forests, you don't need to frequently remove and clean the fan blades, saving time on outdoor maintenance.

Multi-Scenario Test: Hiking, Camping, and River Tracing—One Fan Does It All

I've taken it outdoors five times in two months, and these scenarios have made it indispensable. I've also recommended it to my fellow outdoor enthusiasts:
 

Hiking: Hang it around your neck for natural airflow, leaving your hands free for trekking poles. The battery life is long enough to last all day, eliminating the need for a backup fan.
Camping: Place it in your tent for natural airflow, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. It also charges your phone, eliminating the need for a power bank.
River Tracing: The splash-proof design keeps it water-resistant and helps keep moisture away during breaks, preventing colds.
Picnicing: Place it on a picnic mat and set the fan to level 2 to cool food without blowing the mat off. It's even more comfortable than sitting in the shade.

Why is this a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts? Three key reasons really hit the mark.

After comparing six outdoor fans, this one is my go-to for a simple reason:

Lightweight and versatile: It combines a handheld fan, power bank, and natural wind simulator into one, eliminating two pieces of gear and shaving 300g off your backpack, making hiking easier.

Meeting your essential outdoor needs: Long battery life, shock and water resistance, and dual ports—all essential features for outdoor enthusiasts. No frills, practicality first.

Excellent value: Cheaper than a "fan and power bank" kit, it also saves space, making it perfect for budget-conscious outdoor enthusiasts looking to streamline their gear.

Conclusion: A cool summer companion for outdoor enthusiasts—you'll never miss a thing.

From jungle hikes to mountaintop camping, from river trekking to grassland picnics, this multifunctional fan redefines the outdoor cooling experience with its lightweight, durable, versatile, and durable design. It's more than just a portable fan; it's a reliable companion that helps you streamline your gear and prepare for unexpected outdoor situations. You no longer have to worry about what to bring or what to charge, so you can focus on enjoying the wind and freedom of the outdoors.

Next time you pack your backpack, tuck it into a side pocket—you'll find that even in the summer, you can stay cool and have fun outdoors.
