Kuchofuku Thermal Gear Vest TG22001

Pass any construction site or factory in Japan during winter and you will see them: jackets with built-in heaters, more often than not made by Kuchofuku, a brand of Gunma Prefecture work clothes manufacturer Uniform Academy, that allow workers do their job even under the worst environmental conditions. And while these are amazing items, many of which you can also find here in Japan Trend Shop, they often have a problem: they can be too bulky for people who care a little more about their appearance. And it's precisely for these kinds of people that Kuchofuku has created the Kuchofuku Thermal Gear Vest TG22001!

Simple and black so it can go with pretty much anything you are wearing, the Kuchofuku Thermal Gear Vest TG22001 comes in three sizes and can be worn even under your regular clothes. It has a zipper closure and two hand-warming pockets, so it's also suitable for putting on over your other clothes like a jacket. It comes with a battery with four operating voltages (3.3 V, 5 V, 6 V, and 7.2 V) and its heating body can work in three levels for temperatures 40°C (104°F), 50°C (122°F), and 60°C (140°F), respectively, meaning it keeps you going even when it is really cold outside!
