Understanding why Gen Z won't wear them.

How do you choose the best picture from a photo walk in less time?

None. My wife doesn't have any challenges either.

I don't think that is a good kind of content to make. It does no good and it will only lead people to complain. You are literally asking people to complain about a covenantal commitment.

It is not “the temple garment” it is “the garment of the holy priesthood.”

Hearing people complain about them.

The armpit area is too close to my actual armpit and has sometimes caused a rash. It’s also a little difficult to wear pads with garments.

I got endowed at age 50. I overheat easily in general and live in SoCal. I had a heart attack a year later and overheat even more easily. The layers of clothes give me anxiety, like I can't breath. I wear them as often as I'm able to.

Would love a thermal version made of high-end merino wool. Like a thermal base layer to wear skiing. Similar to the current thermal, only with natural fibers.

It is good to see the challenges members face when it comes to garments. Things others don't know or take for granted. In the past, I struggled with feeling worthy to wear my garments. I feared God did not love me, and I should not wear them. I'm glad I realized that was a lie.

Here's my two cents. Being in the military we just don't have the option for white garments in most situations. And up until now, the distro center did at least vend tops and bottoms in brown, for the Army. They have since stopped, and this is a real pain in the butt. Also, Marine Corps and Air Force don't necessarily use the same colors/patterns. And it would be great if the distro center made tops and bottoms in all the colors the different branches need. Also also, there are conditions and duty days when wearing the garment just isn't happening. For daily PT. For all-day PT events. Etc. And then there's the challenge of exposure. In Basic Training, Advanced Individual Training, on deployment, etc., there is literally no way to keep the garment out of the view of non-members. This was especially true during the BDU days, when Army brown garment still had visible stitching for the marks. Versus screening them onto the inside like they did with ACU-pattern garments. So, I quickly got over worrying about whether or not I was sinning just because people saw the garment and/or the garment wasn't worn sometimes, some days, under some conditions, etc. Life happens. Reality demands certain things.
