Introducing Gorilla Punch

As the summer heat intensifies, staying cool has become a necessity for many. In response to this rising demand, Doshisha Co., Ltd., headquartered in Osaka, is set to release an innovative product: Gorilla Punch, a hands-free instant cooling agent. Gorilla Punch will be available from mid-April 2026 through Doshisha’s official online store and various mass retailers across the nation. You can find more details at Doshisha Maru.

Background of Development

The surge in popularity of instant cooling agents that activate through squeezing or striking has been significant, particularly among outdoor and sports enthusiasts. While these products provide immediate cooling relief, users often face inconveniences such as needing to hold the item in their hands or being unable to secure it to the desired body part.

Recognizing these challenges, Doshisha has designed Gorilla Punch to be easily attached to clothing, allowing users to enjoy the cooling sensation hands-free. This innovation promises not only convenience but also a fresh experience in combating summer heat.

Unique Features

Punch to Activate!

The Gorilla Punch is made from a combination of water and chemicals, specifically urea and ammonium chloride, that create a cooling effect through a chemical reaction. By striking the pouch against a flat surface, the inner water container bursts, releasing the contents and initiating the cooling process. This entertaining “punch” action occurs instantly, allowing for enjoyable and effective heat relief prior to outings or during activities.

Hands-Free Application

One of the standout features of Gorilla Punch is its ability to adhere to clothing. This means it can be conveniently applied while on the move, during work, or while engaging in sports. It secures itself to the specific body part needing relief; whether it’s the neck, back, or arms, users can target their cooling efforts with precision. It’s perfect for outdoor events, sports watching, commuting, and other scenarios where convenience is key.

Note: Avoid frostbite by not applying directly to the skin.

Easy to Use – Just 3 Steps!

Using Gorilla Punch is simple:
1. Punch to activate the cooling agent.
2. Massage for even better cooling effects.
3. Stick it onto your clothing.

Two Convenient Sizes Available

Doshisha offers Gorilla Punch in two sizes: the standard size measures approximately 12 x 15 cm, while the MINI version is about 9 x 15.3 cm. Depending on the area you wish to cool – whether a larger area like the back or smaller parts like hands or arms – you can choose the size that best suits your needs.
