In the time it took me to write this, APOK summed it up.
But I'll post this anyway because I feel very strongly about it.
No... As this will give you a false sence of security as your core body temp raises to a dangerous level. You will only know you are in trouble when you are laying flat on your back with troopers fussing over you.
20 to 30 min max is ideal.
We need to get you all back to the green room for cooling down. It has a an AC. Please use that during your break. And everyone will be going on breaks. We have plenty of troopers to go round.
Kev's costume requires certain items to make it work. He is the best one to decide what he needs and does not need. E.g. The neoprene head covering stops him from becoming a bobble head. He has a plan in place for this already.
If you need to have a drink you should go back to the green room and have a drink and a break.
We will be doing 20 to 30 min shifts only. Hydrate before you go out. If you need more come back and get it. It will be too hard on the day keeping track of ten troopers bendy straws/drink out in the field.
So........
20 to 30 min shifts. No heroes please. They are the ones who will need first aid.
During your break, remove as much of your armour as you can. Use ice packs, AC, water, whatever. As you won't be going out for another 30 min.
Your safety is more important that having your pic taken. It can get very serious, very quickly.

Add extra fans if possible, Ditch the sound system, ditch his neoprene head covering, and add a hydration pack on his back..... Even then it's a maybe....
