>>>Bees will sting through conventional coveralls when wet with sweat or
pressed against the skin.<<<

After a couple of weeks of getting my suit "nailed" to my shoulders I got
smart and "cobbed" up a set of "shoulder pads" to keep the coverals up
off of "me".  As far as I am concerned the "Zoot suit" look is in with
AHB.

I wouldn't want to try a string, Alex wearing people should wear a
reversed base ball cap.

Foot wear of choice among CA BK's seems to be pull on boots, often rubber
but I don't know why their feet don't "melt", with pants tucked into
them.

Velco & little "bungles" are very useful too and easier to handle than
duck tape residue buildup.
