Was Cotts wearing Under Armour?

I used to work in a steel mill (thank the good Lord I get to push a pencil for a living these days) and when we would do work rebuilding furnaces (obviously they were shut off and ventilated, but still a good 110-120 degrees inside) they made us wear sweat pants, a sweat shirt and long johns (tops and bottoms) as well as your steel-toes, hard hat and dust mask.

 

I'll trade that with under armor on a baseball diamond any day.

:o I'm guessing the sweat suit is for minimum skin exposure???

Yep. Plus we had to have wooden sandal-like contraptions strapped to our shoes because the heat coming from the floor would melt the soles.

 

But those conditions were only for the first couple of days. Eventually it would cool off inside. But the beginning was hellish. Ten minutes in and 20 minutes out. Awful.

Wow, makes me not want to complain about the heat EVER
