Vests are not considered very stylish in the West but are still very big in Japan, especially during winter, when you can see even office workers wear puffy vests under their suit jackets. The Kuchofuku Fan-Cooled Outdoor Vest, though, is the answer to another question: How can you be cool in the summer without having to wear an air-conditioned jacket? And it is a good answer, because its two fans protect your torso from even a heatwave while leaving your hands free to work or move around.
The Kuchofuku Fan-Cooled Outdoor Vest comes in three colors (khaki green, beige, black) and in three sizes (M, L, and LL) that should fit most body types, and the vest is adjustable by its Velcro-type fasteners. The waterproof vest is made of 100% polyester and its two fans have five speeds using four different voltages (from 6 to 14.4 Volts), so you can customize the level of cooling to suit the environment you are working in. Without a doubt, this is the most versatile air-conditioned garment you will find!
