            @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

                LOL - even Japan has a Joseph Smith 😜
