I do this too. Some times on pre-grid I will pour a small bottle of water
inside my driver's suit (down my chest and down my back). In California's
dry air it works great.
QUESTION
Occasionally, I have been told this is a very dangerous thing to do. If I
was in a fire, the water in the nomex would turn to steam and burn me.
Does anybody know for certain, is this true or an urban legend?
