[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 689950, member: 1963"] While serving in the Persian Gulf, My late husband discovered that the men's robes, called an 'abaya' are actually much cooler than Western clothing. The robe traps a layer of cooler air against the body and absorbs sweat, so it also helps with evaporative cooling. I'm not suggesting that anyone run out and buy a burkha, but I personally have found that a long, loose sundress with nothing on under it, is actually cooler than being naked. [/QUOTE]
