At the very least Rangersuiters are similar to Fursuiters only they wear things that are straight out of a Tokusatsu.

Just wanted to add another thought, I have never seen someone so happy at the notion of getting a shot. XP

Falling asleep in suit could be very dangerous. You could easily end up with heat stroke. If you're often finding yourself getting sleepy in suit then you need to take more breaks and drink more water.

I would think that heat stroke (hyperthermia) would be more of a possibility in the summer months when its hotter than in the colder winter months wouldn't it?

Fursuiting is an exhausting activity even in a climate-controlled space. Unless you plan on sleeping in the snow :P

Oh, it can happen any time of year depending on what you're doing. Imagine wearing your great big poofy jacket indoors for a few hours with the heaters on in winter.
Basically the only time the risk is really low is, as Nathan said, if you're in the snow.

That is just spectacular, Hla … very realistic and meticulous. Handsome crowd you're with and lovely town you're promenading through, too, by the way.

Happy Easter, everyone!

Sorry about the terribly blurry photo. I really need to work out how to make the autofocus work on my camera. Or find some stand-in so I can use manual focus. It's hard taking fursuit pics when you live alone. :P

That explains the slight metallic taste.

I'm sure that he probably didn't think anything of it and just thought that was how it was SUPPOSED to taste. :lol:

Another Fursuit Friday pic, this one from FurDU 2019. Sky seemed like a pretty cool person and their suit was neat. ^^

If I am wishing to buy fursuits, be it for fanworks or in general, I am browsing fursuit makers should I decide to buy the best fursuits

I am leaning towards Lucky Gum Fursuits to be my main fursuit company.
