Not really, because the body self-regulates temperature by pushing out as much sweat as it needs to reach target temperature. A tool that facilitates evaporation allows the body to get by with less sweating. The amount evaporated will be the same, but the carrier won't be drenched. (PS: roughly the same, additional heat transfered from air to dry skin will need to be shed by sweating, but I doubt that this would make much difference compared to all the watts resulting from metabolistic base load, even in absence of physical activity)
Mandatory slightly related anecdote: on a summer drive through Morocco back when car air conditioners where a thing exclusive to America and the one percent I never felt sweaty as long as the car was moving.
- bin_bash 5y agoYeah I rarely ever feel sweat on my body when I run. It’s when I stop running that I get drenched and need to put a headband on. (I live in a dry climate and generally don’t sweat much anyways, YMMV)
- treeman79 5y agoA few years ago I stopped sweating, almost completely. Trying to cool off is nearly impossible now. I have an ice vest if I really want to go outside for then a few minutes. Mirror clothing sounds like a dream.
