Linen allows more airflow and it's structure means, it stays away from your skin allowing better airflow over your body, it is a “stiff” fabric and is less likely to cling to the skin; when it billows away, it tends to dry out and become cool quickly so that your skin is being continually touched by a cooling surface.
Added to this Linen possesses high air permeability which allows airflow through the fabric itself and provides the body with room to breathe!
