It's one of the best purchases I've made ever

Several years back, I picked up a 4-pack of attachable USB-C fans for my phones because I wanted a quick way to get a breeze while riding the train during the broiling summer months. I got a lot of quick stares when I first used them, but the oppressive heat wave hitting the east coast of the U.S. right now is a reminder about how these fans were one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon.

For Prime Day, the same 4-pack of USB-C fans for phones are on sale for $7.59 — which breaks down to about $1.89 for each one. It’s the most convenient way I’ve found to survive in the city for work, especially when I have to use New York’s subway system and its unbearably humid stations. 

The premise behind these fans is simple: just stick one into my phone’s USB-C port, and the power supplied by the phone produces a pleasant breeze.

Over the years, I’ve been able to test out different kinds of wearable and portable fans to help me stay cool. So, if you don’t want to melt during these hot spells over the summer, here are some Prime Day deals that will keep you a little cooler.
