I’ve been traveling all over on my own to conduct site surveys, and it’s seriously exhausting!!! The job sites are truly hell. But anyway, this time I’m going to talk about fan-equipped workwear—something I keep writing about every year…

Could this be a great find!? (Vaporization Heat Vest)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I had the opportunity to give a talk in front of an audience of about 300 people, which was a really great experience.

I Went to the Heatwave Countermeasures Expo at Tokyo Big Sight (Part 2)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went to the Heatwave Countermeasures Expo at Tokyo Big Sight (Part 1). 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?) This one, though…

I found something great! (Water-cooled clothing!)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went the other day! Nagoya Monozukuri World 2022!

That said, there are actually quite a few things there that are relevant to the construction industry as well, and…
