Comment on Sun protective clothing
That’s the problem with sunscreen, too.
Was curious from your comment, and found a rather good article testing if sunscreens caused skin to heat up more. They found un-tinted sunscreen does not meaningfully contribute, but tinted ones did.
It makes sense that UV is only s small % of the energy from the sun, so sunscreen would only be responsible for a small change in heating.
Looks like some can inhibit sweating, too, which could be a double whammy.

Good find, hadn’t considered that effect. I always tend to use the mineral types that study seems to show blocks sweating the most.
