[QUOTE="CA_Pilgrim, post: 1218928, member: 12693"] I don't like sunscreen. I think it clogs my sweat pores and makes me hotter. I always wear long sleeve shirts and long pants year round. It's important to wear lightweight and breathable fabrics. I'm not a huge fan of wool (other than for socks) because in the summer it can get a bit warm. Instead, I like a special fabric that Patagonia uses in their higher end lines called "Capilene". Here's a link to an example: [URL]https://www.rei.com/product/166710/patagonia-capilene-cool-daily-graphic-long-sleeve-shirt-mens[/URL] Capilene is 100% recycled polyester with some sort of fabric softener and order control treatment. It's very sheer and comfortable on the skin, wicks amazingly well, and dries very quickly hanging to dry while on the trail. I wear it in layers in the winter, sometimes with a wool T-shirt over it for warmth. For pants, I like and only wear REI's Sahra Convertable Pants: [URL]https://www.rei.com/product/202030/rei-co-op-sahara-convertible-pants-mens[/URL]. It very lightweight, has lots of pockets to store stuff, and can be converted to shorts if that is your desire (I rarely do). It also dries very quickly when left to hang after washing. [/QUOTE]
