Thanko Extreme Cooling Refrigerated Vest 4

Air-conditioned clothes have become the standard for a significant part of Japan's blue-collar workforce: whether it's working inside in high temperatures or outside during the brutal Japanese summer, any type of clothing that can keep the body dry and lower the temperature while allowing you to continue doing the things you need to do is welcome. Even more so if it takes the concept of air-conditioned garment to the next level in terms of both performance and features – like the Thanko Extreme Cooling Refrigerated Vest 4 does!

Most clothes of this style only come with fans but the Thanko Extreme Cooling Refrigerated Vest 4 also has two of them (at waist level, as usual) AND a Peltier cooling plate in the middle of the back, which keeps the area cool and also helps cool the fan air even more. Moreover – and this is the even better part – the vest comes with yet another fan that works as an exhaust to take out the warm air inside the vest, bringing the temperature down by up to -19°C compared to the environment. So pick your size (M to 5L) and favorite color, and you're ready to deal with the worst the summer throws at you!
