/diy/ - Do It Yourself

what are you doing?

why do you write like this?

who does this?

your idea is shit.

you're stupid.

and you're going to look like a fag prancing around wrapped in a mylar blanket with a zipper on the ass.

Congratulations, you have "invented" latex. Enjoy being horribly sweaty all the time.

Latex is not a comfortable enough or thermally efficient enough fabric and I am not sure if it is even easy to clean

>>2541884
It's very easy to clean, you just wipe it down. The features that make fabrics comfortable to wear are what make them hard to wash.

Normal people don't consider the hour their clothes spend in the washing machine, or the hour they spend drying, as any real kind of issue. People buy more than one outfit, so they don't sit around naked all day waiting for their one set of clothes to finish washing.

>>2541888
nobody sits around in front of the washer and dryer waiting for them to finish.

OP is an idiot.

>>2541856
I don't understand clothing the post.

this is just the kind of retarded idea to be posted on /diy/. Take a shower you smelly fuck. It's not your clothes, it's you.

>>2542009
stop being poor.

>Fibrous clothing takes longer to dr
Woolly jumpers dry almost as soon as you take them out of the washer.

>>2542009
nobodys confirmed.

non poors don't stand in front of their washer and dryer, and also wouldn't be able to afford OP's bullshit clothes.

Well, an entire washing machine enthusiasts community exists.
Collectors have rooms filled with machines, inviting other enthusiasts, and yes, doing laundry with them while talking about spin cycles.

Slightly finer wool already do 90% of what you want, except it can still be water saturated even if its hydrophobic. And it has enough Lipophobicity to not have the scent problems a lot of synthetic fibers have.
Wool do 99% of what you want, it just have to be turned into a fabric which is thin and layered enough to not allow major water saturation.

The key problem is that IF you have fibers, the fibers can store water from mechanical space.
But if you have something like latex... then there is no fibers to store anything, but its a complete PITA because no fibers means its air tight, which carries its own set of problems.

It's not"fabric" at all.
Properly formulated rubber is a highly efficient insulator that is so efficient that it's used in garments like wetsuits and survival suits that protect against hypothermia.
That superior insulating quality is a huge part of why its rarely used in garments that need to allow some body heat to escape to stay comfortable.

Just wear wool clothing. Anything else is a scam created by the cotton and washing machine industries. Airing out anti-microbial fibers overnight cleans it enough to where any dirt or skin cells leftover just needs to be shaken off. I've been wearing the same set of wool thermals for 3 years now and have never failed the smell test

>>2541884
People are comfortable wearing it, and over in >>>/s/latex people have confirmed they wear it for 24h+ at a time. As for thermal properties, you can add a layer of closed cell expanded polyurethane (PU) between an inner and outer latex layer (or PU instead of latex).

Years ago over on /g/, one anon wanted to make a banesuit. I never heard how that project went

It seems like the best way to do this is to wear a thin wool shirt and if it gets cold just keep adding on an additional wool shirt.

Each individual shirt will dry quickly but when worn together they act like a much more fibrous insulator
