Love it. I wish I could dress down now. "Turtle Suit Shell" and Kevlar helmet are very hot. Thanks for the well wishes.

I can imagine. I got back in USAF reserve after ten years active stint and 10 years active. Even during Vietnam era we never had any chem/biological warfare training. That was the first thing after going active reserve. That MOPP gear. chem warfare suit, over regular uniform was not only hot but heavy, especially with gas mask and helmet, then later we got Kevlar helmets and those things are really heavy. In a medical unit we were supposed to be able to care for any casualtities, but the unwritten rule while in that gear was take care of yourself and fellow medics first, hospital or aid station second and casualtities last, the feeling being if you or the hospital were down then no one could care for incoming casualtities. Hot weather in that gear, especially in Louisiana was brutal, 20-30 minutes outside in that gear and you would be sweating so much to the point of dehydration if not careful

We did MOPP training at Ft. Irwin, out by Las Vegas. It was a disaster. I got so hot and claustrophobic I tore it off screaming, "I'd rather be dead!"
Try the old Fire Proximity Suits, the silver asbestos rigs for fighting aircraft fires. Even on a 50F day you would be drenched in minutes!

There's to many places to list. I've never not been able to find anything I needed by Google search and looking through the pages not just the 1st few pages but 10-20 pages deep

Call Numrich direct and talk to an old-timer. They have so much stuff that still isn't cataloged.
