True...be just like a steam bath...Heard story of a guy that got out of the
fire with a singhed suit but he ahd wet down his tops/bottoms of his
underware...3rd degree burns on his body because of the steam...no water..no
burns..
If you have to wear something, get a kool coller or something similar.
Another thought is to put a kool coller in your crotch..that will keep you
cool as well and fits without fouling the helmet.
