The moonsuits are self contained air. You WILL sweat you azz off in one of those.

Heat stroke is common while wearing the suit in the summer.

MOPP level 4 - full chemical suit, gloves, gas mask, boots. We had to train in MOPP 4 gear for hours at a time, obstacle course, firing range, road marches. We looked like a bunch of cartoon characters, wobbling to keep from tripping over ourselves, instead of highly trained killng machines..hehe...Pools of sweat would form inside the masks, and when you took the suit off, you were just drenched in sweat. Good thing was during any down time, you could catch some Z;s without anybody knowing lol

Sounds pretty awful. My body is already a sweat-making machine. In the summer, after a quick run, my clothing is drenched to the point of being able to wring it out.

I hated MOPP 4... It's damn hard to work on a radio power amp, 1000VDC running around when the drawer is pulled out and you have a 2" window to look out of....
