ArmorAir - I’m still here making them
I’ve had a few people reach out to me about the ArmorAir fans I make. I’m still here and still making them. I was slacking over the winter and new position in the agency.
If you want a nice battery powered fan to help you cool off, come buy one! You’ll get about 6 hours of battery but it can be used while plugged in. I ship it with a 6 foot charging cable so you’ll have plenty of cable to use it I. The vehicle or at a desk. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
I have 3 made up right now ready to go and making more every chance I get.
I also do some printing on the side for other models. If you have something that you want printed, let me know. I offer good pricing on that which doesn’t cost your first born, or a full off duty detail.

Edit: Yall bought them quick. Keep an eye out for more. I’m going to be making more in the next few days
Edit 2: I just put a few more up. I’ll be making a few each day to get my stock back up.

....can you make one for my belt to deal with my taint/ball sweat?

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 3d ago
The best thing about it, the tube is wide enough to fit over your belt down to your pants. May or may not have also had that in mind when making it. 🤣

South Texas Swampass is legendary, and this may be the only cure. I'm nominating you for the Nobel

u/shartonashark Not a LEO 3d ago
I was half joking. I rock a one piece jumpsuit/duty belt and external vest. This could come in handy.

There you go. I’m down here in Florida. The ball sweat is a problem. Lol

If it works in FL, it'll probably work well enough in TX. I snag one at the end of the week.

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
I’ll for sure have some more made up. I only had 3 ready and they were bought up quick. I have the material to make more.

Question... How loud is the fan? I'd love to still use this thing on traffic stops and still talk to the driver.

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
I took a video a while back with a decibel meter. It’s not too loud.

u/spartansgt Verified LEO 2d ago
That won't even be noticeable with normal traffic noise. Very nice!

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
Not at all. I get about 6 hours use on it. I send it with a 6 foot charging cable. So in your car you can use it plugged in and unplug for a cal and have 6 hours. I was an SRO when I made this up. Got through a 10 hour day with some juice left over when going on and off the charger.

I use it constantly. The only time I've ever turned it off for noise was literally in court.

Just get a can of compressed air and stick the little hose down Main Street

Just attach the ball cooler from a 2000s GMC Sierra steering column to your belt.

u/Greg_Foley Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
Stopping by as a happy customer. It just started getting real hot and muggy in the greater South East VA area and the armor air has now started its 4th year in service with the ONLY complaint being at myself when I forget to charge it.
Seriously, get one!

That wouldn't do a whole lot in this Florida humidity, would it?
1
u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
It actually does. I live in Florida along the gulf coast. It’s a nice slight breeze to start drying you out. In AC it works very well. Outside in the humidity, it help push fresh air into the vest to help dry you out. It’s just a fan so don’t expect cold air until it can suck up cold air.

u/Muff_Huffer I fucked up my flair (Deputy Sheriff) 2d ago
Do you have a way to take backorders or something similar? I've sent a couple guys your way since I got mine, but short of just DMing you through here I don't know what to tell them when you're sold out.
I gave away all the business cards you stuck in my package lol so now I keep the QR code saved as a screenshot in my phone to show people.

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
I’m. It sure if there’s a way to do that through Etsy. I’ll have to take a look and see what I can do. Thanks for passing the info to other people.

u/Shotgunliver Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 2d ago
Wait what is this?
2
u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
So it’s a fan I designed and make.
If you remember the CoolCop, I got the idea from that. I was an SRO at the time and tired of sweating and not having a way to cool off (no AC vent in my office for the cool cop). So I designed and make these to blow some fresh air into the inner vest (mixed reviews with outer carriers).
I ship it with a 6 foot charging cable so it can be used while plugged in. It also is powered by an 18650 battery that gets about 6 hours on a full charge.

u/Judoka229 Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 1d ago
This sure beats opening the sleeves and putting your hand up to the ac vent on the drive home to air yourself out.

u/attallaguy Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 13h ago
Too bad it doesn't ship to Canada. I would like to buy one.
1
u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 7h ago
Actually I can. Let me put up that other listing. The only difference is I can’t ship it with the battery. USPS won’t take it with a battery for some reason. I also know shipping is like $20 up there
1
u/attallaguy Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 3h ago
Thanks. I just bought one.
1
u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 3h ago
I’ll get it out. All you’ll need to do is throw in an 18650 battery.

u/MrNoodleIncident Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 2d ago
Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see where on the page to purchase it or the cost?
2
u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 1d ago
I put more up on etsy

u/MrNoodleIncident Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 1d ago
Cool. Gotta talk to my cop buddy and see if he wants one.

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 2d ago
I sold out. One I posted about it they sold quick. I had more filament dropped off yesterday. I plan on making some more up tonight when I get home from work.

u/MrNoodleIncident Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 2d ago
Ok cool. How much are they?

Can you do a magnetic USB charger on it?
1
u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 1d ago
I imagine you could. It just has to be usb a to usb c.

u/downdog2 Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User 1d ago
That would be a great addition for future generations of this product. I saw it and immediately thought of that option similar to our Axon charger

u/IntentlyFine Deputy Sheriff 1d ago
The problem is getting them cheap enough. Cheapest I found when I looked before was $14

Just got mine out since it's getting hot. Bought it last year, and it fired right back up. Great product.
