The subarmalis if made of cloth wicks sweat away from the body thus cooling the body! Seal the cloth with wax or oils and that cooling effect is gone.
Just the outer layer, especially the shoulders.....the torso you can leave, if you need the cooling factor. Personally, up in these parts, you'll end up wet one way or he other, and still catch cold, sweating your ears off, so it makes no odds.
But yes, in a hamata in ther heat is good to wick away, a seg just traps it anyway.
