Company invents "Walking Air Con" vest to battle heat
wave
SINGAPORE: It has been unusually warm the whole of May
and according to the weatherman, no respite from the heat is
expected in the next two months.
But instead of getting hot and bothered about it, one Singapore
company, FTG Marketing (S.E.A), has a pretty cool idea on how to
tackle the heat wave.
It has developed a vest that promises to keep you nice and cool
for up to three hours. All you have to do is to pop cooler packs
into the freezer, then stick them into the inner pockets of the
vest.
FTG, which makes cooler bags, adapted the technology for the
vest which they have named "The Walking Air Con".
At 2 kilogrammes, the vest is not physically heavy, but it will
come at a hefty price tag of about S$250. The company intends to
patent this product.
