In the unlikely event that this goes ahead, I think custom made would be the way to go. Vents, thin material, soft lining at the pressure points, etc etc. It might even end up more comfortable than my manky old training gear. But such considerations will be left till the new year.

There are a few threads on the RW forum about the Great Gorilla Run. I don't think those suits were made with running in mind. The biggest complaint seems to be the rubber mask sticking to the face. I'm thinking get a mask as thin as possible, and line it with fabric. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Oh, and don't be tempted, like I was, to Google "gorilla mask". And if you already know what the result will be, shame on you.

There's a nice piece on the trials and tribulations of (serious) fancy dress running here.
