    I don’t know why anybody would want to be shirtless in Australia, regardless of gender. Isn’t that place like skin cancer capitol of the world?

      It’s also hot as fuck. I guess the best option is some very light white long sleeve.

          Theyre designed for keeping the heat off you while youre sedentary, butI dont think theyre great for doing any physical labor, where your body’s also giving off heat.

          They make some nice synthetic fabrics these days that are good about letting heat out, but not it, and really work with your sweat to keep it cooling far longer than normal.

          Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking about, I’m not sure if they have a name for it.

        Its funny how only the settler colonial countries in the world have such high rates of skin cancer. Like the US, Canada, Australia, Israel, etc. It’s almost as if nature has to keep reminding those people that they aren’t native to the land they live on.
