Just wondering does anyone know any methods to keep your flight suit cool during the wearing time? I'm in West Texas (tatooine) in the dust and heat but I still want to wear my Boba stuff this Halloween.

Any help would be great,
Alex
 
I wear Nike Dri-Fit shirts under most of my costumes to keep from sweating thru them. It's a dangerous thing to do though, cause it's gonna make you dehydrated fast.

CycleGear stores (and online at cyclegear.com) sell "heat-out" clothes. It's like the tight undersuit a stormtrooper wears, but designed to pull heat away from the body. It won't do much if your flightsuit is heavy and doesn't let the heat go anywhere though.

A fan in the helmet, pointed right at my forehead helps a lot.

I cheated and made my suit and vest from fairly lightweight cotton muslin. Still get pretty hot. I'm considering cutting large vents in the back armor to vent where it doesn't show.

I feel your pain, I'm in central Florida!! Indoor troops!;)

As for Halloween, I usually just open the door for trick and treaters as Fett. I get to stay in the AC and the kids are usually more excited to see him than getting candy.
