Dear EditoR,

The wet weather parka

and trousers do a great job

keeping you dry in the ±Ain²

but most soldiers don't like

to wear them because they

smell terrible. ³he

preservative poWder on the

±Ainsuit soaks up odors

and soon it smells like a

garbage can on a hot day´

µhe solution is the same

as when

Y

start to smell

ripe: ¶·ke a sho¸er¹ ºUrn the

parka and trousers inside

out» put them on² and hop

in the shoWe±¼ Scrub the

½insuit thoroughly with

bar soap¹ ¾ash all the

soap ofF

Let the rainsuit air d¿Y

Àr

24

hours² but not in

direct sunlight. ³he sun

causes permanent creases.

Never run the parka or

trousers through a

washing machine or d±Ye¿,

eithe¿Á Âhat ruins the

sealant that ¸aterproofÃ

the rainsuitÄs seams.

Âhe parka and trousers

¸ill smell better longer if

you

Je

them completely dry

beÀre storing them.
