Bought for my husband for work. He works in hot buildings and installs air conditioners. He likes this fan because it stays on his neck, doesn't fall off and he gets cool air in the tightest places where he goes to work. He said it definitely helped him a lot. I also use it for my son to keep him cool when we are outside. The fan is not very loud. Noise is very low. It's not heavy, but thick enough not to break. The product is well made. The airflow is excellent for the size of the product. I also use it for walking/jogging. I recommend this product. Would I buy again for myself or as a gift. The battery life is also good and it recharges
