An air conditioned jacket! Who wouldn't want it in this heat, loadshedding and high electricity bills. It is a Japanese invention so I request the Japanese government, next time when they think of sending aid to the people of Pakistan , it should  be in the form of jackets with built-in air conditioners :) It works by helping the body's own cooling system.
