Same with me, (black burqa). When you see pictures, and they're under a blazing sun, I can't help thinking how uncomfortably hot they must be. Not only are their female form hidden, and their face covered, but they also have to endure the suns 'sucked up' rays. Goodness, how much more does one have to 'disappear' so as to not make it 'uncomfortable' for the men?
