Summertime is arguably the best season of the year. There's a plethora of outdoor activities to fill up your weekend, the days are longer and vacations are on everyone's list of priorities. But it's also hot as balls.

Sure, you can take a dip in the pool if you have access. You can lay in air conditioning all day, but if you're like many people in the world, you will be forced to go out into the sweaty world. But thankfully, this new armpit cooler straight out of Japan will make sure your armpits stay cool and dry.

The ingenious invention from Thanko is a clip-on conditioner that operates using two AAA batteries, or a USB charger. It's basically a mini fan to help circulate some air into your pits.

You'll get about five to nine hours of continuous use out of the coolers depending on just how intense you'd like too cool. The sole switch on the side of the contraption offers three different levels of intensity.

Now, while the coolers are clearly marketed as a way to cool down your pits, no one is going to stop you from strapping one of these onto a pair of your shorts to cool down your nether regions. And at $36 for a pair, why not just get a second set for this exact purpose?
