HYGGE’s Award-Winning Products

Grand Prize: Flex Water Bag 10L

The Flex Water Bag is designed with versatility in mind, featuring a special strap for easy carrying, a large opening for cleanliness, and a phase-free design that allows for everyday and emergency use. Key specifications include a capacity of 10 liters, triple zippers for added security, a self-standing base, and a lever-style water tap, ensuring that it suits various needs from everyday hydration to emergency supplies.

Excellence Award: Emergency Whistle

Nesect’s Emergency Whistle stands out with its user-friendly design that emits sound with minimal breath power. Its sound engineering achieves an impressive 110dB and 2600Hz frequency, making it effective for alerting those nearby during emergencies. Lightweight and compact, the whistle is equipped with a neck strap, carabiner, name holder, and a plastic case for convenient carrying.

Excellence Award: Strong Anti-Tremor Mat

The Strong Anti-Tremor Mat is designed for customization, allowing users to cut it to size. With dimensions of 30x20cm and a thickness of 5mm, the mat’s design is based on actual seismic wave data, tested by independent organizations to ensure reliability in earthquakes. Included is a dedicated cleaning cloth, keeping the mat in top condition for use.

Supporting Disaster Relief Initiatives

In response to the Kumamoto earthquake of 2026, Nesect actively participated in a disaster relief fundraising project. The initiative gathered support from various disaster-related businesses to aid affected areas. On August 6, the company made a generous donation to the official Kumamoto relief fund, demonstrating their commitment to assisting those impacted by natural disasters.

The company’s strategy includes not only contributing funds but also ensuring the continued supply of disaster preparedness goods. They are exploring options for material and human support to sustain their efforts.

Project Highlights

The Disaster Preparedness Goods Awards is an initiative established in 2019, and the 2026 edition was particularly special, as 37 products were recognized across four categories. Nesect plans to attend the award ceremony on September 2, where they will showcase their award-winning products, providing attendees a chance to see the innovations firsthand.
Moreover, the awards serve as a platform for reporting on the progress of the disaster relief projects undertaken by stakeholders in the disaster prevention sector.
