Reply to comment by paranoid_android_OK in Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos
Polypropylene underwear is very good for this purpose. I used to wear it for white water kayaking.
Synthetic fleece jackets are pretty warm while wet and much lighter than wool. Can't think what it's acrually made from though... I got a free one with a National Geographic subscription.
Main downside I notice compared to wool is that the synthics get kinda gross smelling if you sweat in them.

Reply to Is it true the humans could breathe and live in the atmosphere of Venus? by Impossible_Mine_1616
There is a region in Venus' atmosphere where the pressure and temperature is roughly equivalent to Earth, which some argue make it "the most hospitable place in the soar system".
Unfortunately the makeup of the atmosphere is very different from earth with huge amounts of CO2 and clouds of sulphuric acid.
You wouldn't need a full space suit to live in a Venusian cloud city, but you would need to use a gas mask and a full bodysuit made of Teflon or something similar to keep those acidic clouds from dissolving your skin and/or lungs.
