As one who has only recently returned to the con scene...and I picked a hellish summer to do so, I can say that HOT weather + cosplay do not make for happy people...coplayers nor convention goers.

Nothing worse than walking into a hotel lobby and the stench of sweaty people stomping a mudhole into your nose.

I know hotels have A/C but this year the heat was so bad, most of the people who walking in from their parking spots were dripping in sweat by the time they got to the lobby area. Hell, I was sweating a bit and I didn't even have any cosplay stuff on.

Not sure how you can avoid this other than to cosplay as Sub-zero, Shredder or other masked character and actually put a air filtering device in the mask! LOL
