Fursuits always look so hot and uncomfortable to me. Can any furries here confirm or deny?
They are in fact hot, but there’s ways to be comfortable in a fursuit, such as wearing underarmour/lycra/spandex. Sweat wicking stuff is a life saver in a fursuit.
Can confirm.
In fact, furries went out and improved upon the design of military cooling vests to try and beat the heat:
They definitely are. Cons always have a lot of signage up about watching for symptoms of heat stroke, and decent cons will have a “headless lounge” set up as semi-private (fursuiters and assistants only) space to take off parts of your suit and cool down. Usually lots of fans going and freely available water.
