1. A system pump-conditioning a garment worn about a torso of an individual, the system comprising:
a circulation array circulating a fluid within an interior space between the garment and the torso of the individual in an effort to condition the individual; and
one or more pumps organized into one or more pump arrays, each pump array including the pumps thereof in a unitary package and also including an inlet and an outlet, each pump array being operated as a unit to provide motive force to move the circulating fluid through the circulation array, each pump array being operated to exert a negative pressure on the circulation array within the garment so as to draw circulating fluid therefrom, the circulation array being arranged with respect to the garment to draw circulating fluid generally from a head opening at a top portion of the garment,
the circulating fluid in response to the negative pressure of each pump array generally moving into the interior space of the garment at the head opening thereof, then through the circulation array, then out of the garment toward the inlet of each pump array, each pump array receiving the circulating fluid at the inlet thereof and exhausting same at the outlet thereof down and away from the torso of the individual, whereby the moving circulating fluid draws heat and humidity from about the torso of the individual within the garment, and directs such heat and humidity away from such individual to cool and comfort same, and whereby the moving circulating fluid draws a cooling and comforting breeze about a head of the individual.
