What was the reason behind the strange cycling attire, if you don't mind me asking?

In some sports this is kind-of normal procedure to reach a weight class before a major competition. You go into a sauna or do sports in air-tight clothes and lose a few kg of water. After getting weighted and assigned a weight class you drink lots of water again
I did it for the lols,
I also didn't know that it was made out of non-breathable fabric.
If you really want to go all the way, you can either DIY or buy one of the existing ice backpacks. These come with a vest with water tubes to cool down your skin and blood. The ice supply lasts a few hours.
Of course, it means there will be more to worry about contaminating when doffing.
When I got to work, I was swimming in my own sweat. I remember taking it off and draining buckets of sweat out of the 'sock parts'.
If this thing is air tight, I expect it would work about the same. That little blower wont be enough to cool you down on a warm day and you will be enjoying a sweat bath.
