On Sunday I put on my rubber coated drysuit with hood gloves and latex feet. It was just over 30 degrees and I managed to wear it for around 2 hours. In that time the sweat filled the latex feet and walking sounded like I was sploshing. The fabric was lovely and slippery inside the suit despite the ...

I love to wear rainwear out in semi public too, ie in a woodland in a rural area. There is nothing better than being under 1 or 2 layers of old fashioned non breathable waterproofs concealed under more up to date sometimes breathable gear. Gets quite hot and sweaty if the weather changes whilst out ...

My favourite breathplay is to put my head into one leg of a set of waterproof trousers and then twist the trousers once (so they tighten on my neck) and thread the leg I have my head in already through the second leg. I normally then put a cagoule or even two over the top and tie the hood cords so ...

In my view the best thing to do to get that feeling of the fabric on your face is to make some eyelets in the back of the hood. perhaps only 1 to allow some air to get in. You can then do them up as tight as you like and you will not suffocate. I have nearly had major problems myself after doing up ...

Taking off rainwear for me is always a difficult thing to do. Somewhere in my being I just want to wear it for days but the sweat levels eventually make my body call it a day with water sloshing around inside my baselayer. Once you crack the zip the cold air and the sweat somehow makes it feel a ...
