I've found my head will sweat and cool from evaporation much better if it ain't covered in a thick layer of insulation, which is why I don't wear an insulated winter hat in the summer.. If insulation helps keep you cooler in the summer more power to ya. You might try ditching the shorts and wearing some insulated pants and insulated long sleeved shirt or maybe even a coat. That should keep you positively comfy on those scorching hot summer days. Or have you heat stroking out in short order.
You're a funny fellow for sure.

When it gets really hot, sometimes loose thin clothing is exactly the thing to do.

Insulated "clothing" defeats the air circulation/evaporative cooling thing. A beard doesn't.

Even an old guy like me has that figured out.
