- I think that one's "birthday suit" is the only suit that fits the bill.
- In Goretex, I still sweat more than enough to be completely soaked. I
- just figure on getting wet and make sure to have dry stuff along to
- change into when I get to where ever I am going. And, BTW, you might
- want to wear something over that birthday suit; on cold rainy days,
- that would help keep you warm, and in any case it might be considered
- the decent thing to do.
