'Air-conditioned clothes' to beat summer heat

Air-conditioned clothes - Self-cooling clothes may seem like the stuff of science fiction, but one Japanese company has created such a product by incorporating fans into the fabric of its items. Shirts and jackets made by Kuchou-fuku - literally "air-conditioned clothes" - keep the wearer comfortable even in sweltering heat.

I have just read this on the net and like to share it here with you, I hope wou will like it. Self-cooling clothes may seem like the stuff of science fiction, but one Japanese company has created such a product by incorporating fans into the fabric of its items. Shirts and jackets made by Kuchou-fuku - literally "air-conditioned clothes" - keep the wearer comfortable even in sweltering heat. What a great idea is that, we can beat the summer heat and have this cloths on with the fans working it will be so great. What do you think about that?Have a nice day for all.

That is a pretty interesting idea my friend,and think if everyone had self cooling clothes,then people would not have to run the air conditioner as much,and it would save money,and help the earth at the same time,I think it is a great idea,and the images you posted with it,make me wish that me and my fiance had clothes like that especially since we have been having like eighty to ninety degree days lately,thanks for sharing this wish us.

It's an innovative idea that's for sure! But.. I find that it really looks ugly. Lol, the guy looks so fat and bloated and the shirt looks so ugly where all of a sudden, there is a fan by the side of the shirt. I would definately not buy it, even though it's burning hot! Lol, I would rather die from the heat rather than to look like a fat bumpkin bumping around my way, looking so weird. No doubt, it is a great idea! And if someone could improve it farther by making it look better, and more fashionable, I am sure that this idea would really take off and take the world by the storm. When that happens, I could just imagine the few thousands of dollars per year we could save on electricity bills when it is no longer necessary to turn our air conditioning on. Lol, I anxiously wait for the arrival of that day!

I seems like a nice concept. I'm only skeptic about its result. Would this add up to world's problem called Global Warming?

Sign me up! I will do almost anything to stay cooler in this heat. But couldn't go out in public like that, it made that poor guy look really fat. I don't need any help in that department. lol

Well, I don't help with that if it's make you look fat when you wear it, but for be cooling in the hot days no one will be notice if you are fat or thin Thank you for your response and have a nice day.

That is pretty COOL. haha get it? No seriously, I bet it saves a ton on bills for your air. However, looking at the pictures...it looks kind of silly and makes you look a little fatter than you are. That would be something that is a factor for me. But other than that, it's a pretty cool idea.

That is a great idea. Sure it may make you look fatter, but if everyone is wearing them it wouldn't make a difference! lol What a great idea. Looks silly but who cares? It seems wherever I go, the air conditioning is never high enough for me. I would probably buy this!

Hi friend! Air-conditioned clothing? That's gonna be a real cool clothing. I'd like to have one someday. But I guess that would really be expensive. Keep posting friend. Ciao!

Thank you for sharing it, alkurishy. That is really a good invention. Yes, it can make man feel comfortable in the not very hot summer. but it also make man so fan,it is not convenient for working. Maybe some days,the scientists can creat a fibre that can be change the temperature. Is the clothes' air conditions just a fan? When the temperature aroud us is so high, the fan just blow hot air to our body, and i think it is not make us cool. I think it is not very usefull for us. This is just my opinion. I am a Chinese, so English is poor. Sorry!

Hey alkurishy! I think that's a great idea! I'd like to know how they did it and how they work first. I'm afraid it probably takes an awful lot of batteries to run those fans, but it sure would be great for some of the high 90-100+ degree weather that we have had here in the USA (NY) this summer! It has been pretty hot and humid and extremely uncomfortable to be outside for any length of time and I've had to stand outside and wait for busses. It is really miserable to be in that type of heat when you have no choice and have to be somewhere and don't have a car. Certainly wouldn't mind some airconditioned clothes then.
