There’s a word for that obsessive breed of pet owner who deems it necessary to clad their precious little bundle of joy in cutesy costumes, and it isn’t a particularly nice one. We’ll make an exception for people who kit their critters out with the Hieru One, though, in that we suspect some animals will actually appreciate it. This miniature version of the Ice Ruck comes with leg and chest straps, and promises to provide up to two hours of relief from the heat. It’s currently only available in S and XS sizes, mind you, so your pet husky might be out of luck.

Hieru One, ¥3,900. Available at branches of Tokyu Hands.
