Til this very day I still don't know. I think just drinking lots of water and knowing when to take breaks helps.
As for SDCC, I feel like it's not really a cosplay-centric type of con. Maybe it's just the number of attendees but I feel like cosplayers make up a small percentage and most people are in normal gear. SDCC is probably the only con where I maybe cosplay 2 out of the 4 days and even then I only cosplay for 3 hours tops since it's so hot.

Good to know! I may just wear my character's goggles. I did that for the second day of my local con and people still called me "Aizawa" even though I only had one piece of the costume. Might as well get my money's worth haha.

Register or LoginSo Cosplay folk. I did my Aizawa cosplay and nearly died. Of course this is Hawaii and it's much more humid but I don't think it'll be much better in San Diego. Heat is heat. For my next Hawaii con I'm considering updating it to be "Hawaiian Vacation Aizawa" and do like board shorts and an Aloha shirt and a kukui nut lei. It'll keep me cool and be topical. But oh man I just don't know if I'll be able to tweak it for SDCC.

First of all, like semigeekgirl said, the convention center is usually freezing (except that one year where the AC broke...). The convention center is so cold sometimes i have to wear a jacket even though its 90 degrees outside. Always keep moving. Standing in one place (unless its directly underneath the AC) is more uncomfortable than walking on a regular basis.
Secondly, I wear Under Armour underneath almost all of my costumes when possible. It helps keep you cool and helps keep sweat from pooling in one area. It helps avoid sweaty armpits and sweaty elbow pits/knee pits. Plus once the Under Armour is wet from sweat it can help keep your body cool.
Lastly, it doesn't hurt to keep a little portable USB powered pocket fan with you.

How's everyone's cosplay progress/SDCC cosplay lineup shaping up?
My lineup for SDCC 2019 is GoT-centric so I'm bringing my Arya Stark cosplay and I'm currently finishing up Lyanna Mormont's season 8 armor as well as Jaime Lannister's season 3 outfit (I have a friend who'll be cosplaying as bear pit Brienne and her other friend will be cosplaying the bear.)
I'm still debating whether or not I want to bring my revamped Tokoyami with Dark Shadow cosplay since I'm already bringing 3 and luggage is pretty limited but we'll see.

My daughter recently decided she wants to cosplay this year after all. We went to JoAnn and ordered a ton of stuff on Amazon, and now the house is a disaster :). She is making a Sansa cosplay and my other daughter is ordering an Arya cosplay.
