Ice Bag Pad (Cooling Pad for Backpacks)
This PCM-equipped pad attaches to the back of a backpack to cool the wearer’s back. It is designed for use during commutes, school, or outings where back perspiration and heat are concerns. The practical design allows for re-freezing if the ambient temperature is 28°C or below.
Cooling Rucksack Pad
This PCM-equipped pad continuously reduces back perspiration and heat for children during their commute to school. While sized for school bags, it also offers versatility for use with smaller bags carried by adults.
Helmet/Hat Cooling Mat
Combining two patented technologies and three cooling technologies, this product features a unique structure. In addition to PCM cooling, it enhances cooling sustainability through a multi-stage structure and an insulating layer. It is available in two sizes: S (93g) and L (153g).
Pet (Dog) Ice Vest
As of March 2026, this product is noted as the industry’s first dog cooling vest utilizing PCM material in Japan. Its unique design features button-like protrusions and a multi-stage structure, allowing it to conform closely to a dog’s skin. This product extends cooling options not only to people but also to pets requiring heat countermeasures.
ICE & HOT Thermos Bottle
This thermos bottle, which has obtained a utility model patent, allows all parts to be removed for washing. Designed for all seasons, it accommodates both cold and hot liquids and uses food-grade silicone material, prioritizing ease of use and hygiene for daily applications.
Unveiling of New “Cooler Box”
At this exhibition, Nomads Life Co., Ltd. will unveil its new “Cooler Box,” which has not yet been publicly announced. This product is currently under development, leveraging Mr. Nomads’ accumulated expertise in planning and developing cooling products to create a new cooling item. Detailed specifications and features are scheduled to be revealed for the first time at the venue. Product specifications and release dates are subject to change.
About Mr. Nomads Cooling Series
The Mr. Nomads Cooling Series represents a line of next-generation cooling products that utilize PCM (Phase Change Material) as its core technology. PCM is a material that absorbs ambient heat as it transitions from a solid to a liquid state. A key characteristic is its ability to continuously absorb heat from an object without requiring a power source. The series maintains a consistent design temperature of 28°C, aiming for a comfortable temperature range that is easy to use even in hot environments, rather than cooling excessively. The product lineup addresses various daily heat-related concerns in workplaces, during commutes, leisure activities, and for pets.
