Latex under a waterproof suit

Post by overtrousers »

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? :oops:

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.

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.

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

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 🥵🥵 ☺️
