PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piece of clothing provided with a body warming/cooling device by enabling warming/cooling the piece of clothing body itself which is used at such places as factories under a high or low temperature environment, or work places like office rooms or outdoor places in the summer or winter season to carry out works efficiently under optimum temperature conditions. SOLUTION: This piece of clothing body 1 has such a structure that a clothing-side heat exchanger 7 made by laminating a flexible narrow tube 5 for a refrigerant with an aluminum foil 6 is sandwichedly wrapped with an external face fabric 3 made of a cotton-like heat insulating material and an internal face fabric 4 made of a porous synthetic fiber material having air permeability and thermal conductivity; wherein a cooling operating cycle is made up from the clothing-side heat exchanger 7, a switching valve 17, a compressor 10, an outside heat exchanger 16, and an expansion valve 19; the compressor 10, the outside heat exchanger 16 and the switching valve 17 are each housed in a fixable or portable storage case 9; refrigerant passages 8 and 18 each connecting the expansion valve 19 to the outside heat exchanger 16, the clothing-side heat exchanger 7 to each of the switching valve 17 and the compressor 10 are included in a flexible communicating tube 20 connected between the piece of clothing body 1 and the storage case 9. |
