I have seen many crazy things being invented in the last couple of years but this could top it all. A shirt with air conditioning that can be plugged into a usb port ? Now, we know that all kinds of strange gadgets exist that are usb powered like beverage coolers and air fans. This shirts actually have two fans build into them that run on a low frequency and keep the temperature level of your body at a cool level.
So, which shall it be. Cool looks or cool body ?
The shirt is powered by batteries when it is not connected to the usb port and it is possible to connect it to the cigarette lighter of your car which also powers the fans.
Update: The air conditioned shirt is actually sold out in the shop that originally offered if.
The USB Air Conditioned Shirt is a fantastic cooling invention for hot days! USB- fans blow fresh air into the shirt, powered solely by your powered USB drive. Great for any hot office or room, or even for portable action with a laptop or other device. There’s simply nothing else out there like it! This was highly featured in the press and on gadget blogs, and you can have it yourself here.
Some shirts are still available on reseller websites, but the prices are beyond good and evil (180 Euros or more). The speed of the fans is manageable, what’s not so nice is that it makes the person look bigger due to the size of the fans. Plus, it is a lot heavier than your standard shirts who do not come with battery and fans. And depending on the position of the fans, you may not site comfortable when sitting down.
I personally think that it is more a gimmick than a practicable thing to wear in summer.
