    Wouldn’t it still be semi-effective in arid environments, as the breeze will help your sweat evaporate?

      Yeah, definitely, I hadn’t considered that, but that’s also probably not the big problem. The bigger problem is living in a place with 50+% humidity all throughout summer (which I do.) Though, it should be noted that humidity has a moderating effect on temperature, and therefore means that you’re less commonly hitting the mid 90s necessary to eliminate the primary effect.
