Also, as straps aren't all connected, they can help air you out, while the fabric keeps your sweat absorbed. The reason desert people wear lots of light cloth fabric.

Dude. Straps are function. You can but strap/belt attachments on them to hold things, first off.

How about thinking of traveling through a desert before appearing ignorant. Knives could be stored in there, guns maybe. Canteens. Cross bows. Other supplies. Loose straps of cloth. (The more cloth you have in the desert, the better. Those that wear little are usually the first to die. Fabric on your skin will hold in your sweat, which will actually cool you better than taking everything off, while protecting your skin from burns and blisters.)

Seriously.
