PROPER ENTRY PROCEDURES: SAFETY

(4) Garment Breathability: Bunny suit material is tightly woven polyester. The tight weave is designed to prevent most particles from passing through, providing a high quality barrier of protection to the environment.

However, this tight weave can be uncomfortable or even potentially hazardous to some people. Just as it keeps contaminants from escaping, it also retains body heat and moisture. You need to be in reasonably good physical condition to wear these suits, since heat exhaustion and fatigue are possible during strenuous activities.
