- hutzlibu 4y agoIf you sweat, you wear too much clothes or the wrong kind. Wool is nice and merino wool is the best. Some synthetic stuff might also work, but is not so nice on the skin and some fiber just acts like a plastic sheet, meaning trapping all moisture inside. But to repeat, we climbers and winter campers use merino wool. It is a bit more expensive, but worth it.
- lynx23 4y agoExactly. If I sweat, I wear too much clothes. So the "islotate yourself" mantra does not work for me.
- adrianN 4y agoI don't understand. Do you sweat and still feel cold?
- lynx23 4y agoAlmost. I typically sweat due to too much clothing, which results in me feeling cold.
- danwee 4y agoWhat's weird about that? My armpits could be sweating (e.g., wearning a t-shirt + sweater) but my hands (no gloves) could be freezing.
- bearmode 4y agoDifferent parts of your body can feel hotter or colder, because the sensation of temperature is not about your internal body temp, but the heat transfer at the skin. Hands with a pair of gloves on will feel colder than e.g. armpits under 3 layers of clothing. It's absolutely possible to sweat and still feel somewhat cold.
- hutzlibu 4y agoIf you would wear other kinds of clothes, you likely could be warm, but not sweat. A little bit of sweat is normal, the problem comes, when this sweat cannot vaporate, but remain trapped inside your clothes. Maybe try merino wool.
- loco5niner 4y agoNot true. My body tends to 'run hot' and I overheat very easily. Even when I'm in shape (and years ago in high school), I can just be cleaning up at home just in a thin pair of shorts and be sweating. Some bodies are just different. I'd love to try out a wool shirt though, cotton does get very cold.
- mdp2021 4y ago> the more I sweat Check transpiration friendly clothing (I am missing the terminology right now) - the underware (and apparel) that you would wear while doing intensive sport. There exists fabric that attempts retention of heat and avoidance of sweating (and its cooling effect). (By the way: as I tried searching for better terms, three instances, I met the following results, one per instance: 'transgender clothing'; 'see-through clothing'; 'the sexualization of women in sports'. The search engines algorithms are getting some fixation?)
