In February 2023, Workman established the Comfortable Work Research Lab, a collaborative promotion organization to develop "comfortable work products" in partnership with companies and universities. The first product released under these "comfortable work products" is the Assist Power Suit.
Lightweight and easy to wear, it can reduce the use of back muscles by over 38% and became a hot topic for its affordable price of 9,800 yen, about half of competing products.
Additionally introduced alongside the "Assist Power Suit" was the Peltier Vest.
From the Workman 2023 Spring/Summer Catalog
The "Peltier Vest" is being marketed as "cooling/heating clothing." What could have appeared as "the clothes of the future" in movies or manga just a while ago is already commercially available to the public at a realistic price of 19,800 yen.
This time, Kentaro Doi, manager of Workman's Product Development Department 1, who was involved in developing the "Peltier Vest," talked with official Workman ambassador Koji Yamada about the development episodes.
