Summer has arrived and neck fans are once again increasing in popularity. These portable fans wrap around your head and are a simple and effective way to keep your noggin cool and breezy.

Amazon is currently offering 50% off the FrSara Rechargeable Portable Neck Fan with coupon code "CWE2O6ER". For Amazon Prime members, prices start at just $13.50 after the code is applied. To be honest, most of these inexpensive neck fans on Amazon look like they came from the same factory, so it really just comes down to finding the lowest price. Also, if you don't like it, Amazon offers an easy 30 day return policy.
FrSara Rechargeable Portable Neck Fan for $13.49
The FrSara portable neck fan features brushless motors that spin a pair of tiny fans built into each earcup and keeps your neck area cool. The 5,200mAh rechargeable battery is bigger than what I generally see in other cheap neck fans and lasts from four to sixteen hours on a single charge depending on which of the three fan speeds you select. The tradeoff is that this neck fan is also a little heavier than most. FrSara advertises its neck fan as "whisper quiet" although that would probably depend on the speed setting.
A portable neck fan has plenty of practical uses, especially if you're going somewhere hot and humid (like Disney World Orlando in the summer). For gamers, it makes a lot of sense because your room can get pretty toasty on a hot day, especially with your gaming console or PC working overtime and exhausting tons of hot air. Additionally, if you're like me and you get sweaty whenever you wear a gaming headset, a neck fan could be the perfect solution for that too. Keep in mind though that any neck fan will have one limitation; if the air is warm, the wind blowing through will also be warm (although if you're already sweating, evaporative cooling makes up for this). That isn't a fault of this neck fan, just a limitation for any fan that simply moves air instead of lowering temperature.
