Convertibles in the Summer Sun and Heat
This applies to most locations, at least part of the year.
I constantly see people driving around in the middle of a scorching hot summer day, top down, bumper to bumper traffic, exhaust fumes in their face and sun beating down on them. I'm talking 95 degree days with high humidity in black cars with black leather! And they sit there with not one bead of sweat on them, soaking it all in. Maybe some of them have the A/C cranked on... I don't know.
Is it just me, or does anyone else like the convertible top down at night way more? When the temperatures have cooled slightly and there is no sun making you half blind. Not to mention, you're not sweating through your clothes. Plus, the air always feels extra crisp and clean at night once traffic has subsided.
Whatever floats your boat, but I just like top down more at night, or on 60-80 degree overcast days. Anyone else feel this way? I'm just curious. Maybe I sweat more than normal or something

It's me, well except for the black car...
95, no clouds, humidity, whatever, my top will be down, and I'll be lovin it. It has taken me a while to learn, but I keep a 2XL (huge on me) white long sleeve Nike Dry-FIT UV shirt in my trunk. I stay way cooler in the huge white long sleeve shirt than I do in a short sleeve t-shirt.

Get new deodorant and driving at night topdown is indeed better
. My deodorant's fine. It's my back being up against the black seats. Maybe I should try the Nike Dri-FIT shirts.

I don't mind the heat on my face and front side too much, it's the back and underside on the leather that I hate.
For that I use a nice luxurious egyptian cotton towel, feels so much better.
