It’s hot. So hot that heat exhaustion or stroke are a real danger. Add some activity and you need some serious cooling.
The head is a great place to cool. That’s why you sweat so much there.
The High UV Buff® fabric was created to help. It uses your sweat to cool you.

It is the highest cooling headwear fabric in the world. In fact it created the category Coolmax® Extreme in 2003.

Popular Applications for Coolmax® Extreme
Motorcycle

Motorcycle gear in the heat is dreadful.
But there is a gap between the helmet and the jacket. Your neck. Your neck is a great place to get cooling.

- Cools the neck in the heat
- Draws the sweat out of the helmet. Keeps the helmet dryer
- Keeps the bugs out of your jacket

You are out all day. Sunscreen is not really an option. It creates all kind of skin issues.

Limitations
You are a heavy sweater that hates the heat. You are in a tropical rainforest. Chances are that even the High UV Buff® fabric will fail you. At least you know that you’ve tried the best money can get you. Better get out of that place or take ice packs with you.
Also the fabric has to be flat on your skin. No air pockets allowed. Also not more than one layer.
I recommend to make the fabric moist and shake it before putting it on. This way you have an instant cooling effect on your skin. You don’t first have to sweat to get the cooling effect.

- Make the fabric wet and squeeze excess moisture out.
