WHAT'S cooler than being naked?

Wearing airconditioned clothing, of course.

Japanese entrepreneur Hiroshi Ichigaya is selling jackets, shirts and pants outfitted with battery-powered "personal cooling systems''.

Small fans circulate so much air over the wearer's body that a 31C room feels comfortable, say journalists from America's ABC News who tested the clothing.

He has orders from 100 companies.
