Comment Cool Suits (Score 0) 398

I served in Iraq in 1991 and regularly faced temperatures exceeding 135 degrees F and it is not good for your health over a long period of time (tends to keep you from having kids). But the low tech solutions seem to work best like drenching an army t-shirt in water and removing your boots to keep cool. When you are near danger it is far safer to close the hatches rather than risk an RPG hit flying into the loader's or TC's hatch. Even miltech offers some interesting applications in civilian life and should not be ignored. I regularly wear gortex lined boots that were originally developed for military use. $5K is a bit much for a suit but when your in the toaster you will do anything to keep cool.
