In reading thru the forums, it seems that most posters find SFS the most comfortable to wear. I'm interested, as a soon to be new wearer, what peoples opinions are on different combinations.

Example, does a SFS unit that you attach with glue on the complete bald area still let your scalp breath, or does the glue layer(s) seem like a sheet of plastic wrap?

If attached with ST-30 around the perimeter & Walker contour front, does the tape create a torsion pull on your scalp?

Is a Thinskin base attached around the perimeter, or glue over the entire bald area? Is it recommended for somebody who runs hot (i.e. I sweat, can't sleep with the heat high in winter)

SFS vs. French - do they feel the same or is one rougher/scratchy?

Is the silk pillowcase thing a necessity?

What would survive & be breathable in a tropical climate, where a beach, water park or pool would be the everday event of 7+ days?
