Wellness Guide
Breathable Fabric Choices
Natural fibres — cotton, linen, bamboo — breathe significantly better than synthetics. Where possible, choose natural-fibre base layers even under synthetic costume outer layers.
Cooling Products
Cooling towels, personal misting fans, and strategically placed cooling gel packs under non-visible costume sections are all effective at convention temperatures.
Strategic Breaks
Schedule costume-free breaks in air-conditioned areas every 2-3 hours. Remove the most insulating layers during breaks to allow core temperature to normalise.
