Clear takes on the gear that keeps a suit con-ready. Every review lists the real trade-offs and cheaper or pricier alternatives, not just the sales pitch.
Most of what we recommend is in our own or friend's and blog supporters kit and travels to cons with us: the Pelican Air 1637 we fly a head in, the WOLFBOX air blower we cool down with, our vacuum bags and compression cubes, and much more. The rest we vet with suiters we trust or draw from their first-hand experience. Where a review shows photos of a unit, those are our own. More detailed reviews are landing soon.
What goes on your body while you wear the suit: wicking base layers, a balaclava, gloves, a lanyard, hydration, and anti-fog for your glasses.
Airline checked-bag total size limit is 62in (158cm).
Keeping the suit fresh between wears: ventilation, spot cleaning, and drying it out in a hotel room.
Where the suit lives between cons: holding the head in shape, keeping air moving, and staying off the floor of a closet.
Field and home fixes for the small things that always break at cons.
Not survival gear. This is the stuff that makes a con weekend more fun for the suiter, the handler, and everyone they meet.
Everything for the duct tape dummy nearly every fullsuit maker requires.
