There's gotta be somebody on this planet who can go to the hottest places on earth wearing a winter fur coat and not even sweat. Has this person been discovered yet?

People with a disorder called anhidrosis do not sweat, however their condition puts them at great risk for heatstroke.

Kilian Jornet reportedly does not sweat (but that's in relation to physical exertion rather than in direct response to heat).

And not sweat ? Well, people who can go to the hottest places would probably be some who participate in the World Sauna Championships (blue link)
