Silk boiler suit?
No sweat? Silk underpants is the way to go, so we've been told, if you plan to spend time in Indonesia. A certain local natural heritage protector was given some slinky scants by his wife recently, in preparation for a trip to that hot and sweaty country. But he ignored them, despite her pleas to at least try them on. Finally our hero succumbed and agreed to wear them for a few days to make sure there was no nether region allergic reaction. Meanwhile, off to Hamilton he went for a conservation course. At lunch the waitress spilt scalding hot coffee in his lap - and he never batted an eyelid (probably didn't breathe for a day or two eitherl). So was it the protective attributes of the silk that saved him, or was he too shy to drop his strides in such an emereency to inspect the damage?
