            @dwarf I went and checked it out
            current conversion rates it cost $234.33 US

            [Adjustable waist/Equipped with a large capacity battery of 5,000 mAh/Continuous use for up to 17 hours/3 levels of wind power adjustment/With a dedicated app that can be controlled from a smartphone/Type-C charging}

            Although I can get one from Amazon

              @orc that one at scAmazon isn’t an AC unit tho - just moves hot air around (still nice to keep your clothes from gettin damp and sticky). the jap one actually uses some high-tech phase change material to give ya a cooldown effect.

              still, at $50 vs the pair of $250 ones an american would need, i’d prolly try the amazon one first too 😜

              if ya get one, lemme know how well it works for ya !

                @dwarf Im for sure gonna get one … I been looking at the Japanese one I think they are saying PCM for simple heatsink they put in it.

                Now there is on out there that actually does have a true cooling unit built in which is pretty cool but its a small wear on your neck unit.

                Although having worked in HV/AC I will believe it when I see it lol
