Air Conditioned Clothing: Very Geeky, Not So Chic

I don't think it's very lady-like to talk about sweat, but I can admit when my mobile weatherman hits 80 I start to get a little, well, sweaty. While most of us respond to warm temperatures by shedding layers and drinking more iced tea, one company hopes people will take it one step further by cooling off with air conditioned clothes. Kuchofuku, a company that specializes in air-con lifestyle products, has introduced air conditioned pants and shirts for both men and women. The good news is they aren't as dorky as those hats with fans on the top of them and would probably be great in balmy weather. The bad news is they look like a cross between fishing gear and something your outdoorsy high school science teacher used to wear.

It's not everyday that you find an easy solution to sleepless summer nights, but Kuchofuku, the makers of the air conditioned clothing line, have come up with a smart, simple recipe for a full night's sleep: An air conditioned mattress. For $399, you get a 5.3-pound portable "bed," which uses dual fans to pull air in and circulate it through the cushion beneath you. It rolls up so it's the ideal travel companion.
