Excuse the ignorance but are you discussing suits for working outside. If so how will these porous or skin tights deal with the temperature problem. specifically dissapating heat. wouldn't a person tend to get rather warm on one side and cold on the other? Possibly a reflective suit would handle this. Just curious. B. Taylor IH BTL x6797

From: Robert Elton Maas <REM at MIT-MC> It seems to me blood circulation adequately handles temperature differences such as standing in a snowfield with the warm sun on your back. Reptiles do it better, sitting flat on a cold rock with their back (upperside) to the Sun, getting warmed all the way thru in preparation for vigorous activity. Space would have less convection from the cold (dark) side so I don't think the problem would be too bad (can an expert confirm my opinion?).
