Back in the late 70s, we had occasional NBC drills. We had to don those protective outfits and the old fashion rubber boots with the really old latches on the boots. We wore gloves and gas masks. In the Summer I am sure that they would be stifling.

Now the masks were difficult, but everything else was sweet. It was always raw and damp in Germany at night during Fall & Winter. Those barrier articles were terrific for retaining body heat.

Back in Desert Storm 1991, I wore those NBC garments.

As you say they really retained. I was ripe after 3 days of sweating in them in the desert when the ground war kicked off. And I was only driving, not walking in them.

Im glad you had a different experience with those.
