I wondered, Alan, how you could bear wearing a hood
on a hot summer's day, but it probably doesn't get as hot in NY as
here. I can barely wear a respirator on hot days, and can't wear the
EPA approved goggles. They don't have enough ventilation (for the obvious
reason, they don't want chemical exposure to the eyes) but they fog up so
badly, it makes it impossible to see anything. I've gone to using
simple safety glasses. For head protection, I use a wide brim cowboy hard
hat (quite stylish) and it breathes pretty well. I don't do enough
spraying to justify those battery operated ventilation hoods
($500+)
Dennis, Thanks for the info. on suits.

I have used this fabric and I guess you just have to pay the price for
liquid resistance. It may be cool enough when you sit on a tractor but
when you're pulling 300 ft of hose on a slope to spray with a handgun it's
torture to wear on a hot day in late spring.
