    I’ve noticed that recently when touching cool things (especially clothes) with latex gloves on; they feel damp, but I know that they’re not. My guess is that the heat draw of the cool object simulates the cooling effect of evaporating water, and the latex glove prevents the texture from giving away that it’s dry.

      I think that’s probably it. I know it’s always a game when you get the clothes out the dryer after a while to work out if it’s still damp or if it’s just cold.
