About Us
Experience the freedom of true portable cooling.
Where It All Began
It started with a restless night under the stars.
One summer evening, our co-founder Max and a group of friends set out for a camping trip—grilling food, sharing stories, enjoying the freedom of the outdoors. But when it came time to sleep, the reality hit hard: the tents were stiflingly hot, making rest impossible. Desperate for relief from the oppressive heat, they abandoned their tents for the cooler night air, and sprawled out under the vast, star-dusted open sky.
That night, Max voiced a question that would change everything: "With all the technology we have, why is there no real air conditioner for outdoor life?"
That simple frustration lit the spark for ZERO BREEZE.
Our Mission
Redefining Comfort in the Great Outdoors
At ZERO BREEZE, we believe adventure should be free from unnecessary suffering.
We believe that experiencing the outdoors—whether camping, working, or exploring—should never compromise your comfort, safety, or health.
Our mission is clear and powerful: to bring real cooling to places traditional air conditioners cannot reach. We empower you to go further, stay longer, and live more freely.
Our Journey From Impossibility to Innovation
When we started, there were no true "portable air conditioners"—only makeshift solutions like fans, evaporative coolers, or ice-based hacks. Real cooling requires a compressor system. But making one small, powerful, and portable enough to be truly outdoor-ready?
Manufacturers called it impossible: "Too small a market," "Technically too hard," "Too risky."
Undeterred, and like adventurers, we decided to build it ourselves.
Our journey was one of relentless innovation. We engineered a micro-compressor from scratch, created specialized fans, and built our own production lines when no factory could assemble it the way we needed. We faced constant setbacks, including sourcing issues, technical dead ends and financial pressure, but we never lost sight of the goal: a genuinely portable outdoor air conditioner.
Finally, in 2016, after two years of dedicated effort, the first ZERO BREEZE Mark 1 launched. It wasn't just a product; it was a breakthrough: the world’s first battery-powered, truly portable air conditioner.
Powered by Users, Evolved by Feedback
From the beginning, our users have been and remain our most valued collaborators.
We committed to listening deeply—to every challenge shared, every success story told. Through their experiences, we gained invaluable insights and heard powerful testaments to the impact of real portable cooling.
We heard from truck drivers who finally had sound sleep in rest areas, from campers empowered to extend their trips by days, and from parents able to provide instant cool relief for their children during outdoor sports. Furthermore, individuals with heat-sensitive medical conditions could reclaim their freedom to enjoy the outdoors again.
Cool Comfort on the Long Haul
"Compared to a 12K APU, the Mark 3 is damn worth it and must have to every OTR and Regional truck driver. Batteries charge very fast while driving and it takes about 4 hours for both and each battery gives you at least 5 hours of cooling before it switches to the second battery. You can stack them."
Enhancing Outdoor Work Environments
"Working in hot field hospital tents is a huge challenge for our team and patients. We absolutely love the Mark 2 already! We used it this past weekend at an event and it was perfect! This awesome unit has been placed in service to be used at standby and prolonged emergency scenes to cool down members of the public and our fellow first responders in our treatment tents!"
Their Voices Shaped ZERO BREEZE Generation by Generation
2016
Born from two years of relentless pursuit, the Mark 1 arrived in 2016. As the world's first truly portable, battery-powered air conditioner, boasting 1100 BTU, this revolutionary product quickly garnered widespread attention and support.
2019
Building on this initial success, we actively listened to our users. Incorporating their valuable feedback and real-world experiences, we launched the more efficient and mature Mark 2 with 2300 BTU in 2019.
2023
Driven by user demand for even greater cooling capacity, 2023 saw the unveiling of the powerful Mark 3. This new model is specifically engineered to support a wider range of outdoor applications, delivering significantly enhanced cooling performance.
Each step forward was a response to real-world needs, real-world challenges.
Beyond Camping: A New Frontier
ZERO BREEZE portable air conditioners set out to help campers, but found their way into unexpected and vital places:
Emergency vehicles: Ensuring comfort and readiness
Small aircraft: Cooling pilots in low altitude for focus
Race cars: Keeping drivers cool in critical moments
Marine vessels: Offering cool comfort in stuffy cabins
Desert construction sites: Vital cooling for safety, productivity
Medical settings: Providing support for heat-sensitive patients
These real-world applications proved portable cooling was transformative, not just a "nice-to-have."
The Spirit of ZERO BREEZE
At our core is a simple truth: comfort enables freedom.
This is the freedom to camp longer, work safer, race faster, heal easier, and explore wider.
Innovation isn't following the easy path. It comes from refusing "good enough"—from daring to ask better questions and answer them differently.
From the first prototype built on a shoestring budget to today's advanced Mark 3 systems redefining portable cooling, we've held firm to our core values: portability, true cooling, and user-driven design.
Our journey is far from over. As long as there are places too hot to stay, moments threatened by heat, or dreams limited by discomfort—ZERO BREEZE will keep pushing.
Cooling wherever life takes you.
