Sony Reon Pocket 6 (RNPK-6)
Commute Cooling, Office Wear, Year-Round Personal Thermoregulation, Summer Heat Relief, Winter Warmth, Outdoor Use
Overview
The Sony Reon Pocket 6 (RNPK-6) is the compact new standard in Sony's Reon Pocket wearable thermo device line, worn around the neck to cool or warm the skin directly at the contact point. It combines a newly developed compact DUAL thermo module with a vapor chamber and high-efficiency exhaust system inherited from the flagship model, reaching cooling surface temperatures up to 2°C lower than the Reon Pocket 5 while staying quiet and discreet enough for commuting and office wear. Available from the Sony Store Japan in RNPK-6 and RNPK-6T (with REON POCKET TAG 2 sensor) configurations, it runs year-round with SMART COOL, SMART WARM, and auto-switching modes.
