Now back to our regularly scheduled program. From what I read, I though the idea was that once you reached essentially 100 per cent humidity in the vbl bag, you'd stop sweating because the evaporation would stop. Not so?



Tom, this is the basic theory ONLYas it applies to "insensible" perspiration, and ONLY if you are at an equilibrium temperature - not hot, not "sweating". If you are hot, and your body is producing sweat to cool itself off, you will continue to do so regardless of the humidity. Again, it's all about managing the insulation to acheive that teperature equilibrium. Not too hard to do for sleeping or sitting, VERY hard to do while active.
