- The coolsuit system must have some weight associated with it. So surely, put in aircon in its place. Combine that with insulation and off you go.
If you are worried about weight, everyone would be in the same boat if it is mandated. |
There are systems available that blow chilled air into the helmet and cool the coolsuit with a refrigeration system. Not sure why they aren't used, perhaps they draw too much power?
