So in my game I'm about to have a guy wandering around in Phoenix in 100 degree summer weather wearing an armored jacket or longcoat.

Would you guys do anything about that or just let it go? I'm thinking at least giving them BO by noon if they're outside and have them stick out a bit even in crowds.
