The Project Kontemp: Temperature-Controllable Modular Vest is specifically designed to provide customisable cold or heat sensations, allowing users to adjust the temperature to their individual preferences. This innovative product meets a wide range of lifestyle needs, making it suitable for usage across different circumstances and by a broad spectrum of user groups.
The vest uses advanced semiconductor technology to provide precise user-defined temperatures, making it effective in both high- and low-temperature environments. This function alleviates discomfort, mitigates health risks including heatstroke, and improves focus and performance in extreme conditions. Furthermore, the vest integrates principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine, with cooling and heating components strategically placed at acupoints to improve health regulation, circulation, and overall comfort.
