Latex under a waterproof suit
I have lots of latex that I like to use as underwear. Including thick high waist tights with attached tubed sheath and long sleeve pullover top with neck and wrist seals. I use latex as the first layer with rubberised nylon or pvc waterproof trousers over and matching jacket. With neoprene socks and rubber boots. I like the way a full rain suit keeps me really warm even when it’s not raining. Now it is cooler I use thick lycra thermal tights and matching long sleeve top over my latex layer. Then a rain suit. Does anyone else like to dress like this?

Re: Latex under a waterproof suit
This is a really good way of doing things that I have tried a few times. A completely airtight latex suit which keeps the liquid in and allows insulating layers to go on underneath waterproofs. What could be better. These days I just add further waterproof layers as middle wear following a slight sweat escape that dampened my insulative down jacket and trousers. More waterproof layers as in 3 or 4 are much hotter, noisier and restrictive.

Re: Latex under a waterproof suit
Yes it is better if the latex base layer is air and watertight. I am wearing my neck entry suit today which has no zips, attached socks and attached tubed sheath. It works really well to prevent sweat leaks. Waterproof layers over are also a good idea too. I do that sometimes too.
Re: Latex under a waterproof suit
I like the way you think. Yes, I have also worn my latex catsuit under my rainwear more than once. It does keep me nice and warm, although I need to watch how much walking I do as it can become very sweaty - not good if it's very cold and wet.
The other downside is that I can't travel far in case it stops raining and I'm stuck in my plastic rainwear in the bright sun lol

Re: Latex under a waterproof suit
Yes it does get very sweaty. Warm layers over the latex like thick Lycra thermal underwear or even neoprene do help me stay very warm usually. I have had to finish some walks in warm sunshine too
