A Super Cool Dress
If the planet heats up it soon a "must have" except for Everest? :)
Gives an advantage in sports
For travel, home, sport* or heatwaves.
If you are cooler you also look and smell more fresh.
At least 12 important features are listed to look for when buying ready made or ordering from a tailor. Do you know all of them? (Tailors are inexpensive in inexpensive countries.) Goes far beyond the common (partly bad) advice: "loosely fitted clothing and a hat."
* "...Australian Open ...On-court ...50 degrees C...Janko Tipsarevic retired ..due to the intensity of the heat."
I say: They can dress cooler in sports and win more!

A scene from the tropics
I came back to my accommodation around noon. In the air conditioned reception sat two foreigners. They asked, "Have you been out in this heat and sunshine? It's 100 F, 38 F!" Yes, no problem. I walked 20 minutes along the river to a restaurant. They had a stand fan, otherwise I had been too hot there. On the way back I did some shopping. All the time I was perfectly comfortable, only wet from transpiration on the lower back.
I checked their clothes. Wrong quality, colors, design and they way they wore them. I said: Buy my reports guys ! They haven't yet. They still spend the days indoors!
