Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #30 I think the poster is right in that you need to seal up in low humidity in a high temperature. This is all to do with becoming dangerously dehydrated if you have high airflow. Those who ride long distances in desert races recommend keeping your base layer damp so the evaporation has a cooling effect without dehydrating your body. |

How does that work exactly? If there is evaporation there is loss of fluid. The only way that can work AND avoid dehydration is by drinking plenty (always good and my preferred option) or by using a source of liquid to evaporate which isn't sweat (like the MACNA does). A jacket of water around your body which does not evaporate will act as insulation and raise core temperature. |

Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #32 Macna is an evaporative vest…. and it is work properly up to 30/32 °C. From 32 up to 35°C it helps .... but not so much. |
