Things I learned while suiting for the first time:
It’s way hotter inside than you would expect. I knew it would be warm, I even wore the body suit for an hour at home, but once you are actually up and moving, it gets very very hot.
Bring extra clothing dedicated to suiting. I had two sets of heatgear for the suit, I would use one and wash it after, using the second set while it dried. 3 or 4 sets would have been waaaaaay better.
Head cooling is essential. I added a small 5v fan at the last minute and am glad I did. The inconvenient wiring cause it to unplug a few times and it was an urgent matter to get it plugged back in. Side note: try to mount the power for your head cooling IN THE HEAD.
I was successfully able to suit a few times solo, but even having a friend available with you makes it a lot less worrisome.
Headless lounge is your best friend. Take advantage of them. Even if it’s just a short de head and stripping back the upper suit.
I have ideas on how to cool the body better. Going to experiment on some ideas, will share any findings and failures!
