Stay cool – with Meissl: our tips for hot summer days

Practice

We love summer. At the same time, we know that on days when temperatures climb above 30°C, it’s all about keeping a cool head – and body. How do we do it? With a few simple but effective tips for staying cool.

  1. The hot water bottle, reimagined 
    Perfect for cold winter nights – even better for hot summer days: fill a hot water bottle with cold water (not all the way), place it in the freezer, and use it as a flexible cooling bottle. Surprisingly effective – whether on the sofa or in a sun lounger.
  2. Lower your pulse, clear your head 
    Your wrists are natural temperature switches in the body. Run them under cold water or wrap them in a cool cloth – and you’ll feel the cooling effect almost instantly.
  3. Snack smarter, not harder 
    Hydration doesn’t only come from a glass. Watermelon, cucumber, berries – anything light, fresh, and juicy helps your body stay balanced in the heat. It tastes like summer, too.
  4. Mini heat reset 
    A cold foot bath or a cool cloth on the neck – small tricks that help your body quickly return to a comfortable temperature.
  5. Summer must-have: Meissl umbrella 
    And when summer really turns up the heat, there’s simply no way around it: the Meissl umbrella. For us, it’s probably the most comfortable spot in the middle of the summer buzz.
