Has any body had experience with the moisture wicking clothing.
If it helps beat the heat what kind is good. I presume that there is a lot that claims to wick moisture but doesn't.

Here is a good one. Love this shirt!
Champion Double Dry Stone Gray Camo Crappie.com Shirt
I’ve had good luck with Columbia PFG vented fishing shirts. Comfortable and a nice SPF rating.

I use some port authority shirts from San Mar.
I use them when I run, they are cheap and work great.
Anytime I’m going outside I put one on.
I can’t tell a difference between the under armor, and the $4.00 shirt as far as performance.

Exactly what I’ve been wearing the last few days in the Florida mangrove swamps.Quote:

I like the Reel Legend brand. They do a great job of keeping me cool out in this Florida sun.

Surf fished in Mexico, using the Columbia PFG shirts, loved them! :ThumbsUp
I agree with all of the others. I would however add that the lighter the colors the better, because dark colors still absorb heat and are hotter than more reflective light colors.
Add some light gloves, neck gaiter and a wide brimmed straw hat and you will add hours to your endurance and much to your personal safety on hot summer days.
I have a couple of those that superdave posted. Find them to be as comfortable or better than my Columbia and other shirts. I wear long sleeve moisture wicking anytime on the water anymore. Sure makes a difference.
Those PVC neck towels (like chamois) are incredibly helpful at cooling. I'm wearing one right now.
The long sleeve is great also and my preferred and on top of that it has C.C on it......:cheers2Quote:

I like any of the long sleeve tees in white, pink, light blue, light green, and light orange colors. They don't have quite the spf rating of the vented Columbia style PFG shirts but I find them cooler and more comfortable. The beauty of them is, as you sweat, they get damp and cool you faster. I like to dip mine in water from the cooler or the lake and ring them out really good and then as they dry from the sun they help cool you off without you sweating yourself.
Columbia Omni-Freeze is the way to go. Been wearing it for over 5 years now. Cost is about $30 but with how well the material has held up, and with the Omni-Freeze tech, I believe it's worth the price. Available in both long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts, and even polos.
SUPER COOL TEE
This lightweight fishing shirt features our sweat-activated cooling technology, which reacts with your sweat to lower the material’s temperature.
STAY DRY AND PROTECTED
Quick-drying, moisture-wicking fabric, and built-in UPF 30 keep you focused on your cast, not on the heat.
Features:
Omni-Freeze ZERO™ sweat-activated super cooling
Omni-Wick technology actively breathes and pulls moisture away from your skin
Omni-Shade™ UPF 30 sun protection
Antimicrobial treatment protects this product from bacterial growth

FYI - the Columbia Omni-Freeze underwear works well too.
I’ve been wearing hooded Columbia PFG and like it a lot.
I have been wearing the Simms Solarflex Hoody shirts, Under Armour Fish Hunter pants, and just picked up a pair of the fish monkey gloves. I hate messing with sunscreen and I think staying covered up actually keeps you cooler.
I also highly recommend this shirt. Works awesome!!!Quote:

I like these. They run a size big.
As said before, combine with fingerless gloves, wide brim hat, neck gaiter,,,, your good to go all day. If you get hot, get the shirt wet, go for a high speed run. That'll cool you down !
At my age I need moisture wicking shorts! Especially after nearly tipping my soon to be former boat on its maiden voyage!:Rofl
Any of these shirts you guys have talking about loose fitting ?
My body does not look good in most of these shirts if you know what I mean. Lol ! I have trouble finding ones I can wear. I really need to wear them as I burn easy.
