Question?: Why did they make it a Dark (Heat Absorbing) colour and not say White?

Actually under *normal conditions, a black item of clothing will actually do a better job of keeping you cool than the same item in white. (* a little wind and not tight fitting)

I beg to differ try wearing a BLACK T-shirt next time you go to the beach. I bet you find it a damn sight hotter than a WHITE one

You can differ if you like however it is scientifically proven. The colour of the clothing has much less effect than the wind, even just a little wind. Black clothing absorbs both the solar/ambient heat and that radiating from your body, but if loose-fitting a little wind will convect the heat away faster than it's absorbed. Whilst white clothing reflects sunlight it also reflects internal heat back towards your body, meaning that under the same conditions less cooling would take place than when wearing black.

Ref: Loss of sodium I'lItake my Muckers advice, who was in 7 Para RHA, just add a spoonful of Sugar and one of Salt and it works wonders! Damn sight cheaper than all these Isotonic Sports Drinks. As for not having an Issued waterbottle whats wrong with Recycling one of the thousands of Plastic Water Bottles you find lying about?

They're full of urine and have been thrown out by passing lorry drivers. yes, passing

If you have any sense you would not use old plastic water bottles. After a set time the plastic starts to release chemicals into the water which has been shown to cause cancer. That includes the ones rm hand out. Don't take my word for it the info and research is freely available on the net.It all depends on the number that is stamped on the bottom of the bottles

s**t and I thought I was lucky to find so many discarded bottles of Lucozade! Joking aside I mean the "Old" ones that your kids have paid 99p for to drink Fresh Spring Water that's been Filtered through Volcanic rock.

Do you think you're likely to live long enough to die of "Water bottle educed cancer" in this job Jaffa? More likely RM will get you first with a combination of Exhaustion, Stress, Depression etc!
