    • When they drop I will let you know as I just put my email address in to receive updates.  And once they do I will send you the link to the products so you do not have to put your email in.

    • HA, that IS a problem. The eyes are a mesh fabric. It's like looking through a window screen that's 1-2 inches from your face. Or looking out the window of a bus that has the windows covered in a wrap. It actually doesn't impede you vision much at all when looking out, but appears very different on the outside. The real problem is the field of view. That's why the eyes are always so big. But it still limits your field of vision really badly. Especially right in front of you because of the nose. But also your side view gets cut off too. That's why at cons everyone is told to always give fursuiters the right of way. Because we won't see you stepping in front of us. Or standing either. I'm probably making it out worse than it is. You can just turn your head a little every now and again, and that greatly reduces the vision problem. But there are other obstacles with fursuiting too. The feet are always bigger than your shoes. Which you're not going to be used to. So tripping over your own two feet is an issue for any new suiter. And do not even attempt stairs until you've adapted and gotten used to them. But the biggest issue with fursuiting is over heating. Thermal underwear helps with regulation. And you can add battery powered fans for your face and head, which help a lot. My suit actually has two head fans. AND I have a pacifier shaped turbo fan I can put in the mouth. But still, jist 60 minutes will have you over heating to the point of heat exhaustion. Though I also have an ice vest for under the suit. It's a vest you put 10+ reusable ice packs in pockets all around the vest. As they melt, that keeps you cooler longer. I can get an additional 60 minutes with it on. But heat exhaustion is a real problem. At every con there's always 1 or 2 that end up needing the hospital. That's why every con will constantly remind everyone to stay well hudrated. And will have multiple cool down areas. It's where we can partially take off the suit, sit in front of a powerful fan, and drink ice water. Oh, and diapers while suited are way more common thay you'll ever realize. Though having a diaper on the outside of the suit like mine isn't. (Banyfurs still get hated on by other furs). Oh, did I also mention most all fursuits start at $5,000, and can go to over $15,000 for extrememly well made ones with all kinds of featurs and detail? Yup. But mine was actually a mascot suit I got for $500 out of Peru. I was able to spend over 60 hours modifying the head size way down and re-tailororing the costume to fit more like an actual suit.  So fursuiting is definetely not for everyone, but it amazes me how much fursuiting has become so popular. Ladt year BabyFurCon only held 500 people. This year it willnhost over 1000 AND it was sold out inn10 minutes. So be careful you don't invite someone to a wedding and tell them to wear their most expensive suit. They might be a fursuiter and you just don't know it.
    • Great job, thanks for posting it.
    • I will not give them my email address just so I can look at what they want to sell me. I'm sure they won't miss me as a customer but it seems very shortsighted, I would want as many people to see the product as possible. Hugs, Freta
