It's also great in the cold. See www.LDComfort.com. The websie says that the shirt can be wet to make it cool better in extreme temps. This isn't really needed in most cases because sweat will be wicked away for a dry fabric against the skin and it will evaporate from the outer surface of the fabric for the cooling effect. When wet down, it's very possible to get too cold unless airflow up the sleeves is moderated. This is really a great product.
Thanks Bruce, I was not aware of LDComfort.
