But I agree, in some climates its more of a luxury because youd really only need it a few weeks out of the year. With the humidity and heat it would be impossible to not sweat when putting on a suit for work and thats not a good look to show up at work all soaked in sweat. This year because of all the rain weve had, the mosquitos are horrible.
