Comfort is Critical...

✓ Periods of frantic activity followed by long periods of relative inactivity.
✓ Body produces a half liter of moisture every hour under moderate exertion
✓ Condensation is created during the activity and if it cannot escape away from the body you are left feeling cold and damp
