Sun bathing in my waterproofs. I thought it would be fun to dress up in my waterproof leggings and cagoule and pvc pants yesterday.
But I only managed to keep it on for 2hrs. As I was sweating and very hot.
It was like being in a suana. The waterproofs was so wet on the inside. It didn't take long before the amount of sweat began to run down my leggings dripping into my Wellingtons. It was amazing feeling but really the heat was unbearable. And had to take it all off and wash it in the cold shower.

I think you did very well i do not think i could have lasted 10 mins.

I am the same, I doubt if I'd manage ten minutes either. I love the thought of all that sweat dripping down into your wellies though. I bet it felt nice squelching around in them. Oh and the smell when you removed them, that warm rubber aroma mingled with sweat and feet, mmmmmmmm lovely

Mmmmm. Yes I agree. Love getting sweaty in my wellingtons and waterproofs. Had waterproof overalls and wellingtons yesterday, working from home and I got soaking wet in sweat. My wellingtons were soaking and smelly. I did change into some flexothane bib and jacket at one point, and spent most of the day in rainwear heaven - although it probably wasn't a great idea in this heat. Jxx

I'm going to try again this morning in my nylon waterproof all in one puddle suit and Wellingtons.
I think It will get more sweaty and wet than in my waterproof leggings and cagoule. As it's a all in one suit. Not a 2 piece suit. And lovely rubbery on the inside. Love it when it gets hot and sweaty on the inside very nice feeling.

Is your puddlesuit rubber lined ? Or just a rubber feel to it ? If it is rubber then please let me know where I can get one from.

It's rubberized like inside waterproofs.the nylon backing is nice and rubbery

Yesterday went for drive then for a little walk along the coast and high street, wearing plastic pants underneath my shorts, I sure did sweat and sweat dripping down my legs, felt so slippery in my plastic pants.
If someone noticed they might have thought I was wetting myself , would have been nice if someone put their hand down my shorts and rubbed my plastic pants .

I would love to put my hands inside your shorts and make sure it would be more than sweat running down your legs

In sweaty weather it is always nice to apply some baby oil to the inside of any plastic garment that encases your lower parts. The pieces suffer quite a bit but the feeling is well worth it. Everything gets darn slippery but doesn't stick even when you sweat a lot.
I once used to wear a nice pair of shiny vinyl women's jeans by Mango under my denim jeans. For almost a summer long. Even for commuting with the bicycle! They were very nice to wear being made from PU coated cotton. The cotton could soak up quite a lot of sweat and oil. I did of course never wash them. I only added some more baby oil when necessary. In the end they gained quite some weight from the accumulated sweat and oil. They started to smell rancid inside and their outside started to turn dull.

I don't like sunbathing. Therefore I wore a nice outfit on the home trainer two days ago. Matte coated jeans and a nice shiny trench coat. The feeling was heavenly. I didn't wash that outfit either.
Next time I will wear a nice blue PU coated one-piece rainsuit. Its advantage is that the fabric backing is white. So I hope it will turn really ugly inside after repeated uses.
