Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The hot weather just keeps on going! It’s seriously hellish during the day when even air-conditioned clothing doesn’t help. I can’t stand it.

While cooling vests are the standard for heatstroke prevention, this year every manufacturer is pushing Peltier elements, so there isn’t really one that stands out as “this is the best!” (Personally, I’m not too impressed with them in real-world use?)
