In Memphis the heat and humidity in the summer can be absolutely HORRIBLE.  I use to detail in cargo shorts and a cotton T-shirt. My fiance recommended that I try the NIKE "dri-fit" shirts and picked me up a few. Woah!! THEY WORK!! Evidently you can get them in all different styles including polo style golf shirts. The ones that I have look like this ....they are GREAT!!
Just thought I would share.

One thing that would be REALLY nice is the shirts they sell through the racing stores. They have tubes all through them that connect to a coolant can and those are supposed to work wonders as well.

Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,449 | I have one of the Dri-Fit polo style shirts. It is one of my favorites simply because it is significantly cooler than my cotton shirts. I tried buying more but couldn't find any in my size. | |

Dupont's Coolmax and the Nike Dri-FIT fabric all perform similar functions in that the fabric is built to wick the moisture away from your skin and allow it to evaporate. Cotton tends to hold the moisture against your skin and gives you that wet, clammy feeling as soon as it gets saturated with perspiration.
If you want to go full bore, there is even mf underwear, too. | |
