Neck / spine cooler?

July 5, 2008 10:22 PM

Saw this upcoming new product on TV late at night one time . . .

. . . I think it was on one of those half-hour geek product shows. It was being marketed as a lightweight electric neck cooler thing that wraps around your neck. It looked something like this, but thinner and has a long bottom part that touches and cools your spine; so it looked more like a 'T' shape with the top part of the 'T' wrapping halfway around your neck.

I think the product has an actual name, does anybody know what it's called? If so and if it's available, where would one get a hold of this? And does it actually work?

It has an extension that expands down the spine. I've searched a few places, no luck.

Oh sorry, that's not electric. Many people with Multiple Sclerosis would find that sort of product really beneficial, maybe try contacting the MS Society & asking if they are familiar with the product you're looking for?
