In re my failure to thermoregulate

[snarp]

Is there any actual, peer-reviewed fucking research out there on the best fabrics and garment-types to wear to prevent overheating? A set of standardized medical recs or anything?

I think it may, at least in part, depend on whether you're talking dry heat or heat with humidity. I have the impression that linen is a classic for that, possibly better than cotton (or maybe just classier. I don't know).

For situations where you think you'll be sweating a lot, my husband swears by those moisture wicking artificial fiber blends, but I don't have personal experience with them except to note that I don't much like the texture and that it's hard to find such things in my size.
