Outdoor party testing! This lightweight and long-lasting hanging waist fan really frees up your hands for hiking and camping
As an outdoor player who goes camping at least three times a month and goes hiking in the mountains on weekends, I have long been caught in a dilemma of "cooling down vs. convenience": holding a fan for an hour makes my hands sore, I can't take landscape photos, and I can't hold a hiking stick; The hanging neck fan made the neck red, and after sweating, it became even more sticky and unbearable; And outdoors at temperatures above 35 ℃, without a fan, it's impossible to withstand direct sunlight - until I came across this Clip Waist Fan. It weighs 288g so light that it doesn't seem to hang anything, hanging firmly on the waist without shaking. With a 4000mAh battery, it can sustain a 13 hour full day journey, and 5 levels of wind speed accurately respond to all scenarios from morning dew hiking to noon camping. If you also want outdoor travel to be cool and enjoyable, this test will tell you why it has become the top one on my outdoor equipment list.
288g ultra light waist hanging design: hanging for 4 hours without shoulder pressure, freeing up hands to play outdoors
For outdoor enthusiasts, "weight" directly determines whether they will take it out, and the lightweight design of this fan completely hits the pain point:
Weight measurement: It is 60g lighter than a 330ml can of soda water. After walking on the left side of the belt for 4 hours, there were no pressure marks on the shoulders and waist. The 350g waist fan I used before was easily removed after walking for 1 hour;
Fit experience: The curved silicone waist clip fits the curve of the waist without hurting the hips. Even when wearing thin quick drying pants, there will be no marks left. When running, jumping, and chasing wild rabbits in the mountains, the fan never shakes;
Portable storage: The size is only 120*82*44mm, and when stuffed into the side pocket of a hiking bag, it doesn't take up much space, saving more space than a folding umbrella. It can be easily retrieved within 10 seconds during security checks, without having to make room for a suitcase with a fan.
Last time I took it on a hike on the Appalachian Trail, I hung my waist all the way, freely held my hiking stick with both hands, and snapped at the clouds. I never missed the scenery again because of holding a fan.
4000mAh long battery life: 13 hours of coolness, no power outage from sunrise to sunset
The biggest fear for outdoor equipment is that it may fall off halfway, and the 13 hour battery life of this fan completely solves my battery anxiety:
Hiking test: Starting from the foot of the mountain at 8am on Saturday, driving on 2nd gear wind for 12 kilometers on the mountain road. Switching to 4th gear at 12pm to combat the 35 ℃ high temperature. When going down the mountain at 6am, the fan still had 15% battery left and had not been charged once throughout the journey;
Camping adaptation: After setting up the tent at night, turn on the first level of wind circulation to circulate the air inside the tent. The tent will be closed from 8 pm to 7 am with just enough electricity to support it, so there is no need to pull a power strip in the tent;
Emergency support: Even with the strongest 5th level wind, it can be used continuously for several hours. Last time, I encountered a sudden thunderstorm on the mountaintop, so I hid under the rocks and used it to blow away the moisture on my body to avoid catching a cold.
Compared to the previous 2000mAh fan, this model's battery life is simply an "outdoor savior", no longer needing to borrow sockets from farmers or carry heavy portable power banks.
3.5-hour fast charging: fully charged before bedtime, no need to look for an outlet outdoors all day long
The outdoor itinerary is compact, and no one wants to spend half a day waiting for charging. The fast charging speed of this model is fully compatible with the outdoor rhythm:
Charging test: Charging with an outdoor portable power bank, it can be fully charged in 3.5 hours; Charge with Type-C interface in the tent at night, plug it in before going to bed, and it will be fully charged in the morning, so there is no need to stay up late and wait for charging;
Emergency power supply: If you use it frequently during the day, you can recharge it for 30 minutes during lunch break and use it for another 3 hours. Last time when we had an outdoor barbecue, I borrowed a friend's portable power bank to recharge it for a while, and continued to use it in the afternoon without any problem;
Universal interface: Type-C charging port is compatible with mobile phone cables, eliminating the need for an additional dedicated charging cable. With one less cable in the backpack, it saves a lot of space and is not afraid of not being able to charge after losing the cable.
5 levels of precise wind speed: suitable for all outdoor scenes, comfortable from morning dew to noon
Outdoor temperature changes greatly - morning dew requires a gentle breeze, noon sun exposure requires strong winds, and the 5th level wind speed just covers all needs:
Level 1 Breeze: When hiking in the morning, turn on Level 1. The wind is as light as a forest breeze, which can blow away the morning dew on your face without messing up your hair. You can also hear the birds chirping around you clearly;
2-3 levels of comfortable wind: After 10am, the temperature rises, and turning on the third level of wind just cools the upper body. The backpack shoulder straps are not sticky or sweaty, and the clothes are more firm when taking photos;
4-5 levels of strong wind: During the high temperature period from noon to 2pm, turn on the 5th level of wind to blow against the back, with a wind speed of 10m/s, which can quickly blow away the surface heat. Sweaty quick drying clothes can be dried in 20 minutes, which is cooler than hiding under the shade of trees.
When the battery is low, the 0% symbol flashes as a reminder and automatically shuts down. Simply press the button on the top of the fan to switch gears, and even with gloves on, you can operate blindly without stopping to read the manual. It's super worry free when rushing.
Reliable buckle+multi angle blowing: firmly fixed without shaking, the wind moves more accurately with people
The stability and adjustability of the waist hanging fan directly affect the experience, and the detailed design of this model is very thoughtful:
Reliable buckle: There is a clothes clip on the upper side of the waist clip, which can hold clothes. Even when wearing smooth emergency pants, climbing 30 degree steep slopes or crossing streams, the fan will not easily fall off and can be firmly fixed on the waist belt or backpack shoulder strap;
Multi angle air blowing: When cycling, clip it around the waist. When hiking, use its neck hanging function to adjust it to the chest. When camping, use its built-in desk stand to place it on the table, and you can accurately blow it to the place that needs cooling anytime, anywhere.
Multi scenario testing: hiking, camping, outdoor barbecue, all with one fan
I took it for 4 outdoor runs in two months, and these scenes made me completely inseparable from it. I also recommended it to my outdoor teammates around me:
Hiking in the mountains: Hanging on the left side of the belt, holding a hiking stick and camera in both hands, the wind blows away the sweat on the forehead, and climbing steep slopes does not shake, which is 10 times more flexible than holding a fan;
Lake camping: Hang on the tent pole at night, turn on two levels of air circulation, the tent is not stuffy or humid, saves space compared to ordinary desktop fans, and can adjust the angle at any time;
Outdoor barbecue: Hang it on the apron belt, turn on the 4th level wind to blow on the face, avoid sweating all over the face from the charcoal fire, and freely flip the skewers and serve drinks with both hands;
Outdoor photography: As a blogger who often takes outdoor landscapes, I hang it on the shoulder strap of my camera bag. When taking photos, I don't need to hold it up and can immediately cool off after shooting to avoid fogging up the lens.
Why did the outdoor party choose it? Three core advantages surpass ordinary fans by a few streets
After comparing 6 outdoor cooling tools, this Clip Waist Fan can be my first choice for a simple reason:
Freeing hands is key: the waist hanging design is more effortless than holding a fan, more comfortable than hanging a neck fan, and allows you to freely carry equipment and take photos outdoors without being bound by the fan;
Durable enough to withstand outdoor rhythms: 13 hours of battery life just covers all day outdoor travel, without the need to find a power source to recharge, suitable for remote mountainous areas without sockets;
Lightweight and high wind power: 288g without shoulder pressure, adjustable wind speed in 5 levels, up to 10m/s, unlike delicate desktop fans that are bulky and cumbersome to use.
