Located in Sweetwater, Texas, IcyBreeze is the world's first and only true portable air-conditioning product, and the coldest blowing portable A/C unit that can be plugged into a wall, 12V car adapter, or run on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, without the need for exhaust venting or condensation drain lines. The product also serves as a high-quality portable cooler.
IcyBreeze is the industry leader in manufacturing and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) distribution of personal air-conditioning and heat relief solutions. The Company’s products combine portable A/C with an insulated cooler perfect for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds, including camping, fishing, youth and adult sports, aviation, golf, tennis, boating, outdoor concerts and event venues, parents with infants and toddlers, pet pamperers, and more.

The U.S. Open, Australian Open, Tennis Australia, The University of Oklahoma, Tokyo 2020 Olympics, KISS, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Rascal Flatts, George Straight, and many more have purchased units to cool the biggest name athletes and live entertainment stars and performers.
