That is pretty cool. We should have seen a robe trend on golf courses around 2012. It’s too bad we didn’t, it would have been funny.

The results were clear. As the report puts it: “The amount of heat gained by a Bedouin exposed to the hot desert is the same whether he wears a black or a white robe. The additional heat absorbed by the black robe was lost before it reached the skin.”

Bedouins’ robes, the scientists noted, are worn loose. Inside, the cooling happens by convection – either through a bellows action, as the robes flow in the wind, or by a chimney sort of effect, as air rises between robe and skin. Thus it was conclusively demonstrated that, at least for Bedouin robes, black is as cool as any other colour.

Interesting 🤔

P.S. I like how my dumbass just kept reading and got confused why Bedouins eat bones.

This is what the reference

Black still isn’t a bonus in that case
