Stay cool this month with these 5 highly rated products

The DMV has a daily average temperature of 87 degrees in August. With these unique items, you’ll stay cool through it all.

Yes, the summer is nearing its end, but that doesn’t mean temperatures are decreasing quite yet. For those needing a little extra help to stay cool right now, we’ve got you covered with these out-of-the-box items, ranging from accessories to high-tech gear.

This line of water bottles from Yeti is one of the brand’s most popular, mostly because of the dishwasher-safe chug cap that allows for controlled sips on the go. Whether you’re walking through the neighborhood or on a hike on a hot summer’s day, this product will cool you down with every sip. // Rambler 26 Oz Bottle With Chug Cap, $39.99; Yeti

This temperature-controlling bracelet has gained quick popularity over the years since its successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017. All you have to do is either click the left (blue side for cooling) or the right (red side for heating) to activate a body-mind response which changes how you perceive the temperature of your environment. So, in these high-humid days, this bracelet will release similar stimuli to holding a glass of cold water on a hot day, immediately refreshing your body. // Embr Wave Bracelet, $25/per month, $299; Embr

If you’re taking a long drive this summer for a weekend getaway, consider adding this blanket to your packing list. Thanks to the compact and lightweight design, the blanket has extra durability, removing all moisture from the body and keeping you cool for hours on end. // Cocoon CoolMax Blanket, $32.97; Amazon

Planning a beach trip? This modern-day koozie will make the day a bit better, as it chills any can (particularly the ever-so popular seltzers in this model) for up to three hours. There are also several other models that can keep your beer or soda cold too. // Slim Arctican, $22.95; Corkcicle

Falling asleep in the heat is never fun. Thanks to this ventilated foam pillow that has gel-infused memory foam with technology to regulate temperature, catching some ZZZs will be easy all summer long. // Weekender Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Pillow, $43.46; Walmart
