So I guess it totally makes sense that hydrofloric acid won't melt your face because the chemical reaction between to and your skin cannot take place because there is no conact being made, but water evaporating still gives you hypothermia, even if, by the logic above, the water never touches you to lower your enthalpy.
Your theory is that Sealed also means you're encased in a heat-impermeable layer?

The impermeable layer is your outer surface. The water touches and cools that, and thus you.
