New Summer Product Launch: Gorilla Ice Stick

Unleashing the Power of Coolness

A novel addition to the popular Gorilla series, the new Gorilla Ice Stick promises to redefine your summer cooling experience. Set to launch in late April 2026, this innovative cooling solution by Doshisha Co., based in Osaka, is designed for those seeking relief from soaring temperatures. Available through Doshisha's official online store and various retail outlets nationwide, the Gorilla Ice Stick combines humor and functionality, featuring a fun tan-colored Gorilla icon—just in time for summer!

The Development Journey

The Gorilla Ice Stick was developed in response to the overwhelming need for effective cooling solutions during the sweltering summer months. Sparked by viral trends on social media, portable ice packs became a summer staple. While many options on the market are made of silicone and provide a mild cooling effect of around 7°C, Doshisha aimed higher. They engineered the Gorilla Ice Stick using aluminum material, achieving an astonishing cooling temperature of approximately 2°C, thus delivering a drastic difference of -5°C in cooling power. This uniquely extreme chill is particularly beneficial in combating the oppressive heat.

Unique Features of the Gorilla Ice Stick

1. Aluminum Cooling Pack: The ice pack of the Gorilla Ice Stick utilizes aluminum for superior thermal conductivity, allowing it to freeze quickly and deliver a potent cold sensation. The strikingly low temperature can be described as “painfully cold,” a testament to its effectiveness in offering relief to users. This engineering logic is grounded in Doshisha's expertise in thermal conduction, honed through various product developments.

2. Vacuum Double Wall Holder: The outer holder adopts a vacuum double wall structure, ensuring the cold stays longer and reducing condensation buildup. This keeps the stick portable and easy to carry around. Testing has shown that after taking the ice pack from the holder in a 35°C environment, it retained freezing properties for over three hours.

3. Slim Design & Handy Handle: Designed with a slim profile, the Gorilla Ice Stick fits easily in bags without taking up much space. The ergonomic handle enhances usability, making it easier to grab and transport. Furthermore, the cold nature of aluminum necessitated the addition of a handle, ensuring comfortable and safe usage.

4. Refreshing Aesthetic: The clear handle design provides a refreshing visual appeal. A slightly toned-down cap color makes the product attractive to users of all ages, ensuring it appeals to a broad audience.

5. Versatile Usage: The ice pack is removable, allowing the holder and cap to be used as a thermos bottle as well. It cleverly converts into a 140ml mini bottle for off-season use, perfect for maintaining temperature for both hot and cold beverages.
