A lightweight, non-bulky personal cooling device consists of a (1) first length of flexible tubing adapted to fit around the wearer's torso or another of the wearer's body parts, tubing contains at least two perforations and desirably a series thereof that are situated to facilitate air cooling of the torso or other body part and connects at both ends to (2) a T or Y-shaped connector having an additional inlet to which is connected (3) a second length of flexible tubing which is unperforated and is in turn connected (4) to a hand operatable air aspirator member whereby air is drawn in through the second flexible tubing and through the T or Y connector to the first flexible tubing from which air exits to the skin of the wearer and cools it. The preferred air aspirator is a spygmanometer which can be carried in a pocket, or in a pouch attached to the wearer. In another embodiment an X-connector may be used with two inlets connected to the ends of the first length tubing and the other two ends each connected to an unperforated length of tubing which in turn conencts to a head operatable air aspirator, allowing more air to pass to the wearer's skin. Either of these embodiments can be for persons who find that the first length of tubing tends to stick to the skin so that some of all perforations become plugged and fail to deliver air to the skin by providing at least one perforation in this length oof tubing into which a very small Troy connector having an inside inlet diameter not more than about that of the flexible tubing itself, is seated. This connector acts to provide a space between the tubing and the skin, especially when the wearer's skin is perspiring, and also may aid in exhausting air if needed.
