With some of today's high-tech winterware you don't have to look like
the Michelin Man to be warm - and when it gets up above about 110 with
humidity around 95% taking ALL your clothes off doesn't make you cool
(in more ways than one)

Remember - from below -- My experience. .As the temperature and
humidity go up, the speed and efficiency go WAY down. Even a 30MPH hot
wind does NOTHING to cool you down!!! Standing in the spray of Mosi O
Tunya cools you down temporarily - but you are not going to get any
work done standing on the knife-back bridge.

You may find that having some clothing on is actually more effective than
being "without apparel". (Twister reference there.) Things like
moisture wicking materials can make sweating more effective.

BUT Sweating only makes you more comfortable/cooler if the humidity is
low enough that it will actually evaporate. With 90%+ humidity you just
get hotter. One day I took my clothes off after being in the shop and
I could literally wring the sweat out of my pants and shrt. I was
completely soaked as if some one has hosed me down. And I had 2 fans
blowing.




I could be wrong, though, but I prefer the moisture wicking shirt when
playing roller hockey. I can tell you that I don't feel as drenched as I
would without a shirt.
