Outdoor clothes for the summer

Anonymous Sun 07 May 2023 08:23:11 No.2577579 View View Reply Original Report

CTRL + F and could fin da thread about summer gear.
I HATE sunny days. If I want to hike I rather go when it is cool and rainy/windy/stormy. I see no point hiking to a destination and being covered in icky sweat.
I am geared out for weathers mentioned above but I have no fucking clue what clothes I need to have to stay sweat free when pathfinding up steep hills.

Any advice?
If just T-Shirt and Shorts, coudl you tell me what are the best fabrics to be chosen?
What should I look for?
What brands promise the best in this regard?

Most synthetic materials will work well. I go for spandex underwear. for shirts, i go for synthetic athletic shirts mostly. the shirts you can buy at outdoors stores are great but way too expensive, so just hit a model's or something. linen can also be a good choice. same with pants, but it is harder to find cheap ones. i recommend the arborwear tech II. they are sturdy and breathable like no other pants. . main thing is avoid cotton at all costs.

A person preference of mine, but I stick to long sleeves and long pants. of you have the right clothes, this won't feel hot, and you are protected from bugs, sun, and brambles. but that's just me

I do gloves and short sleeves, dont really care if my forearms get torn up at the cost of venting heat out of my pits, but I dont want my hands getting infected. Got to have pants though, I learned the hard way that shorts just let all the parasites right up to your crotch.

+1 for linen
Most breathable clothes I have found, and tough, too.
Hard to find dedicated outdoor clothing in pure linen or linen/rayon, you have to repurpose formal/fashion stuff or dadcore vacation clothes.
Linen/cotten blends are pretty much useless though, avoid. Worst of both.

I don't feel like making a thread for this...
where could I buy a real wool shirt for winter use?
varusteleka has one but it's very light and only suitable for summer

I bought this shirt in green a few years ago. Its medium thickness. I don't use it in summer only in winter wore it hiking down to -10 -15C with a base layer under it.
The problem is its very tight in the shoulders and chest. Like all modern clothing cuts its made for twinky onions faggots. Buy oversize and look like a hobo or be prepared to suffer.

Dunno about americans, I hear there are various companies there, gotta ask the burgerbros. In europe it's mostly small national companies, I know a few (all 100% new wool obviously):
>Waldkauz and Pike Brothers in germany
>Bison bushcraft in england
>Edvardson in sweden
If you're ok with something more akin to a wool fleece jacket, you'll find more stuff. Waldkauz makes them in loden, Mufflon in boiled wool (both german, but I'm sure you'll find similar offerings in other european countries.)

Pike actually makes most of them from 80/20 wool/nylon, might be the wool is partly recycled too. But they are the cheapest of the bunch.

t-shirts are the worst garment you can wear in hot weather.
if you must wear one i would buy it +1 sizes too big and look for boxier fitting shirts with loose fitting sleeves, to cut down on how much it makes you sweat.
if you're white buy a "sun hoodie" or "fishing shirt" so you don't get sunburned.
if you're brown get a tank top.
my favorite fabric in hot weather is 50% cotton 50% polyester.
100% polyester, linen, and cotton are also good.
any clothing tight against your skin should be white or light color. any loose fitting clothes, the color doesn't matter, you can even wear black.
when choosing your garments for summer the most important thing is to have some air flow in your garments. i only wear things tight against my skin where i sweat a lot like underwear. otherwise air flow and "billows effect" is the name of the game with comfort.

avoid merino in hot weather.
its such a ill suited fiber for the task. common beginner mistake. merino is godly but not all year round.
i would also majorly avoid rayon/bamboo. try cotton or polycotton. seriously.

commonly spread misconception. cotton is one of the best fibers. everything you've been told about cotton being bad doesn't apply in hot regions, tropical regions, desert and in the summer.
its usually-correct general advice but very wrong pertaining to what OP is asking.
>>2581306
pendleton, thrift stores, not all wool quality is the same it really helps to see it in person, you know when its quality just touching it.
>>2581395
>The problem is its very tight in the shoulders and chest. Like all modern clothing cuts its made for twinky onions faggots
that's why i recommend sticking to the heritage brands even though they're way overpriced these days. i've seen anons recommend similar quality wool shirts to pendleton for $100 cheaper but the cuts on them are always awful looking.
i am a twink and i can't wear that sort of shit outside of trying to dress it up for a formal setting. its not gear.
>>2577652
if you're on a budget this is the best advice, just wear your workout clothes. if you really need sun protection just cop a fishing shirt for $10 to go with your workout clothes. i have a entire closet full of hiking clothes. tens of thousands of dollars. i just wear my workout clothes from value village half the time when its hot out. even on unlimited budget they're pretty optimal.
>>2578143
why not just wear a tank top if you don't need sun protection on your arms?

>materials this

my last piece of advice is that the weave pattern of the textile matters a LOT more than what its made out of with summer gear.
you want loose, breathable, meshy garments.
it doesn't matter as much if its made of polyester, cotton, or whatever. a lot of those differences don't really apply in warm conditions.
the reason merino and some of these fibers are bad is because they have short or weak fibers which can't be woven this way.
>>2581409
>>2581306
80/20 blend isn't bad for a wool shirt, by the way. if you want to go below a certain thickness and make a thin wool shirt you have to start blending it for the above ^ reasons.
recycled wool isn't as good as virgin though.

this is exactly what i was talking about in my posts "fishing shirt"
they're the same exact thing outdoors companies sell us as "sun hoodies" for 1/10th the price. they got the idea from what asian fishermen wear.

I like the options of collars and sleeves, way faster parasite ingress without them.

you can layer a sun hoodie and tanktop together and have the choice, that's what i do. definitely within the realm of ultralight to do that too. its easy to get caught in the mindset of trying to accomplish everything jack of all trades in a single garment but you have to keep in mind its a layering *system*

Something about eBay makes it very untrustworthy, but I can't quite explain why.
>>2581395
Yeah, that one is medium thickness, but it's only 60% wool and it's recycled. I want 100% virgin wool in medium thickness.
>Like all modern clothing cuts its made for twinky onions faggots.
I shall consider this before buying, thanks.
>>2581407
This is what I was looking for, thanks a lot Anon. I was already looking forward to make my own shirt.
>>2581422

Expensive as fuck in Europe and the reviews aren't that good to begin with.
>thrift stores
There isn't a single one in my shitty country.
>not all wool quality is the same it really helps to see it in person
This is what I fear the most. I don't feel like buying something so expensive without trying it on first.>>2581428
>if you want to go below a certain thickness and make a thin wool shirt
I want it for winter time actually, sorry for posting on the wrong thread.

There's nothing untrustworthy about ebay at all, very much so for vintage clothing sellers. I got all my old 70s US made virgin wool board shirts off of there over the years, read the descriptions well and ask the seller for clarification if something is unclear. Ask if it has shrunk, ask for measurements. Check the seller's feedback if you are worried. Then pay with paypal. They are really good about slapping bad sellers' pps on there, and a lot of sellers have been doing it for like 15 years or longer now.

are you ESL or something? you're replying to a post recommending you wear a tank top under a button up or sun hoodie in the summer.

i'm currently dealing with 4 concurrent zip code scams on ebay as a buyer. small and large purchases. its worse than its ever been right now. i also closed down my ebay store because of how many scammer buyers there were.
ebay and paypal have the worst buyer protection of any online market like that.
