The summer time in Tokyo is unbearable due to the heat and humidity me and millions of other people living in this city suffer from between June and September. If you’re a man and have to wear a suit, it’s even worse. Last summer, Japan finally got the deodorant suits which made things a little easier. This year, we get suits with built-in ice packs.
The suits have been announced [JP, PDF] by Japanese fashion company Haruyama as the world’s first of their kind. Marketed as the “New Ice Suit”, buyers get special cooling gel packs for their money. Just put them into the inner pocket near the underarms and you will feel cooler immediately.
As a result, you will sweat and stink less. When you get to the office, just put the cooling gel packs in a fridge and you are ready for the way home later. The graphic above shows just how effective the system is. This is genius.
The only drawback is that the New Ice Suit is Japan-only. Over here, it costs $520 and is offered in 277 stores country-wide.
How cool (hehe) is that!!!
look is very cool !
Unavailable in America, but I’m not sweating it.
If only they had a nutsac cooling accessory pack to limit the growth of frumunda cheese
Here’s hoping it takes off and reduces the high summer odour of the Underground!
Speaking as someone who has helped to design a lot of sports mascot costumes and yes, admittedly, fursuits I can tell you that ice packs against your body are a bad idea.
They create discrete thermal zones so that your body is constantly fighting to regulate your temperature, resulting in dehydration and, if worn long enough, pneumonia.
It just goes to show you, just because something is for sale doesn’t mean it’s safe in Japan.
