First hands-on sessions with Cooly

Over the past weeks we have started showing early Cooly prototypes to people outside the team and letting them hold one.

The question we hear most is simple: does the pad actually feel cold? It does. Most people hold the front of the head against a wrist or a cheek first, then switch the fan on. The contact cooling is what they remember, not the airflow.

What we keep hearing

• The handle feels right in the hand, and people like that the display stays visible while they hold it.
• People want to stand the fan on a table while they talk. The base that widens toward the bottom makes that possible without being asked.
• The strap hole gets more attention than we expected. Bag straps and lanyards come up again and again.

We are taking these notes into the next round of reviews. Thank you to everyone who has tried one so far.
