FRIO
Frio's new Lifestyle range is designed
to protect temperature-sensitive
medicines. Frio wallets maintain a
constant internal temperature of 1826°C for at least 45 hours which can
stop insulin from degrading in extreme
hot or cold temperatures. The Lifestyle
range combines inspiration from the
fashion world with feedback from
existing customers who were looking
for something new. There are five limited
edition designs inspired by Spring/
Summer 2018 fashion trends embracing
patterns and colours seen in catwalk
shows by designers such as Balenciaga
and Gucci which were designed and
manufactured in-house. The Frio Lifestyle
wallets come in two sizes, for two or five
standard nsulin pens. From £27.95.
Or, if that does not tickle your fancy,
the winner of the UK Outdoor Industry
Award 'Product of the Year' award and
'Best Accessory' award 2016, the Viva
Zipper wallet is big enough to carry
up to 5 standard size insulin pens, or a
combination of pens, vials and cartridges.
The Viva comes in bright pink and teal
colours, making it easy to find in a hurry.
