The only times I go without are when it is 90°+ and 90%+ humidity and the scenario calls for lots of work in a line, rather than close up stuff.
Sir Corby,
I had asked you about your Aketon and its construction at last Pennsic and you had had some very specific material recommendations and recommended suppiers for both the canvas and batting. Unfortunately, I have of course forgotten the specifics, but was hoping for a brief refresher. Thank you,
