The panel of judges selected Frio’s Zipper Cooling Wallet as the overall Product of the Year. The wallet features a water-activated crystal inner liner to keep insulin, anaphylactic shock pens and other temperature sensitive medication cool for days, and is recharged with water.
Candy Evans, test editor for The Camping and Caravanning Club magazine, said: “Much of what I do is about promoting the outdoors for everyone, regardless of age, creed or ability. The Frio Wallet is a simple device that can make ‘getting outside’ that bit easier for those who rely on temperature-sensitive medication, which must be a good thing!”
