>>2564908 (OP)>warm climateignore any cotton bad or cotton kills advice. its correct but not in that kind of climate most of the year.
cotton is good in warm climates, especially loose and baggy cotton.
the other generalized advice to ignore for warm climates is anyone recommending you wool products. they are great, everywhere else.
general warm environment tips:
cotton good
synthetics good
tank tops good t shirts bad
loose fitting clothes are the meta unless you need wicking layers
being white sucks
you have to choose between the neck gaiter+cap look, cowbow look, boonie cap look, rice paddy look, arab look etc.
if you go for the arab look support terrorism and get your keffiyeh from

in my experience its the most versatile if you do not care about appearances.
tight fitting garments are best in white or light colors. the color does not matter for loose fitting garments, you can wear black just fine.
i like loose fitting thin cotton or cotton/nylon blend pants sort of like those desert storm era bdu pants for hiking in hot environments that have ticks. good compromise where you can't rock shorts.
shoes > boots
wet+hot sucks, mechanical venting with your rain gear and shelter is the key to making it suck less
>>2564911>You can hike in literally any clothes you havedepends on your race. if you're dark skin, sure.
i'm from iceland and used to live in a tropical environment for a while. i definitely can't do that unless i want to have more cancer than skin. i have to dress so goofy to not get sunburned.
