We shouldn't accept climate change as inevitable or stop trying to effect change. That said, what sort of clothing is out there which might help as we feel more negative effects?

The main thing I'm thinking about is dealing with heat, but I guess part of the question involves a little forecasting about the types of challenges people will face in the future.

I believe this would be a kaftan for a man.

Do we have anyone here with experience wearing one in hot weather? What material is best?

It's not just the material, it's the specific weave too I think?

I'm not originally heat tolerant, personally, so when I visited Cuba I brought a lot of linen clothes and they did wonders. Just pants and tunics, and a brimmed hat. I looked like a drug lord but never overheated.
