[QUOTE="davebugg, post: 1217124, member: 96777"] When only wearing an inner layer (the layer closest to your skin) because of warm to hot temperatures, an inner Layer with long sleeves acts to protect the skin on your arms from the effects of direct radiation of the sun's [B]UV[/B] and [B]infrared[/B] radiation, preventing sunburn. This is also helps keep you cooler. Long sleeves do not allow the skin to bake in infrared heat. This is one strategy of desert dwellers to help stay cooler. When I backpacked across Death Valley, I wore loose-fitting, lightweight, long sleeve shirts. This not only protected me in the ways mentioned above, but it also allowed for increased airflow, however minor, thru the garment to help with cooling airflow. Keeping the sun off the head and neck is also a help with cooling. My favorite for that is a baseball style hat with a wide and longer attached cape dangling down the back of the hat. I have one such hat that was a cheap baseball cap made of a cotton twill and a tea-towel that I velcroed to the back side hats lower edge. Cost maybe 15 dollars to make. And nowadays I also will use a backpacking sun/rain umbrella that can attach to my backpack's harness for hands-free walking. Nothing like having portable shade following you around. :-) [/QUOTE]
