Alright, I need some suggestions for a good BREATHABLE paint suit.
After spending the past two days in my SAS Moonsuit with temps over 90 degrees and a humidty level of around 85 percent Ive decided that SAS suit has got to go.

What are you guys using?? Cost is NOT option.
Please I need some help cus I cant stand another day of sweating my arse off in that thing. Thanks...Eric

Hi Eric,I use a paint suit from akzo nobel(sikkens).The old ones were made from parachute material,not sure what the new ones are made from but very similar.I find these suits very comfortable and can wear mine all day.I think PPG has something very similar.SaS should call those sauna suits,very uncomfortable in my oppinion.HTH graemlins/beers.gif

Eric I used to use those suits daily and they blow. We had to tape the neck,ankles,wrists and seams. This place made colorant and it was 90+ degrees in the winter. When you slept you would sweat colorant from your pores. I do feel for you.

I use a suit by a company called "shoot suit". It is made of two different types of material, the rear side being kinda breatheable, and the front is a plastic type to keep the nasty stuff off. It has elastic around the ankles, and velcor around the wrists. I have used the Dupont Tyvek suits before, and the shoot suits are years better. They are machine washable also. If you can't find a distributor, let me know, and I will post the phone number. IIRC, they were around $60-70.
