Cooling clothes

Thomas_Holding

Can anyone suggest any clothes that help keep you call?

Cool? Yes, ones still in the cupboard!

Sorry I meant cold - I did have one vest that helps but it's not that good.

I have a hat that can be soaked in water to keep one's head cool. Doesn't do much for me as I have thick hair, but thinner or no hair would work.

Soaking most clothes that contact your skin will work well as long as the humidity isn't high.

I am currently wandering around practically starkers.
Might have to address that before my next work team’s meeting so as not to scare the horses.

Are you talking work clothes, or just more general - either way loose cotton does it for me.

I was thinking more of things that keep one cool outside the house so I can be active without getting heatstroke

There isn’t really anything that’s gonna keep you cool when it’s 35° outside except staying out of the sun.

By active do you mean exertion such as running or wanting to be out doing things in your garden? As examples.

Yes that's what I meant. I do have a cooling bib that helps a bit but it's blue and looks really strange. It does however make martial arts possible in a squash court - but it is really weird.
