Comment on Sony Wearable Thermal Device

Comments

I am genuinely curious about how effective these are. If I'm sweating all over my body, will putting this on my upper back help the rest of the body to cool down? Sony must have done their research so what is the principal behind this approach?

The back of the neck and the wrists are the points where you get a bigger cool down effect if you put them under a cold water stream in summer. I think every runner or cyclist know that. A good amount of blood circulates close to the skin there so it's easy to cool. Blood circulation does the rest of the job.

The principle is dead simple. Blood circulates through body.
