[muleman69]

Polyproline

Some of the stuff made for runners, maybe UnderArmour brand? They have different materials for hot vs cold weather use.

I have several different brands of performance t-shirts including 5:11, they all work good

Cotton fibers have a very high moisture regain and make excellent towels. Polyester is the most widely available, offering the most variety of styles, and economy. Nylon is second place. Get the thinnest fabric you can find. Do not fall for the gimmicks which claim miracle performance since these typically use a topical additive whose benefits are instantly negated upon washing.

Give 32 Heat products a try. I get mine at Costco but they are available elsewhere.
Long and short sleeve as well as short and long underwear.
They make a great base layer when it's cold and breathe well when it's hot.
Similar performance without the extra cost of ExOfficio type clothes.

Cotton Kills. There's a reason it's a saying in the white water community.

Lots of options, under amour "heat gear" is a good option. Lots of other cheaper options from kohls, Walmart, etc.

Garments with polygiene impregnated do a great job at controlling BO

wally world carries plenty of synthetic t shirts that breathe and wick. the only problem with the cheap ones is they hold odor. go to hunting stores for the odor free t shirts. well, they call em that anyway.

merino wool from the big outfits like sitka is super too.

I wear Carhartts in the winter but not in summer. The fabric is thick and it may be treated with something that sweats the heck out of me. I don't have an issue with the thinner cotton T shirts. Course being from cotton country could make me biased

I use long sleeve, hooded fishing shirts for summer shooting. UV protection, breathable fabrics. Best hot weather gear!

Sports Academy usually has a pretty good selection of inexpensive (??) shirts that will work, along with the higher $$ brands of Columbia, etc.,

 

[Sandstorm]

It's called Dri-Fit...and Nike or Adidas and many others make it.

Could not agree more on the stank retention of "cheap" or knockoff high perf clothing.

Take a look at Coolmax tee shirts. Wore them for a couple decades under my duty kevlar vest. They worked great for me with long days in hot temps.

This outfit is plenty credible: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/

They can't possibly review every brand and variation, but a lot of very helpful info in general and a good place to start.

Being on the 600 yard line at BA in July can be brutal when it's 112 - 115 . I wanted something to lessen sun exposure on my arms , and my wife found a long-sleeve polyester T-shirt that fit the bill perfectly .
COOL - DRI , made by Hanes . Look on Amazon . Made summer ranges sessions a lot more do-able .

I switched to US Army olive drab, moisture wicking, no cotton. Comes in packs of 3. Rothco sells them pretty cheap, like 20 bucks. They last forever and do what UA does for less money.

My wife and I wear the "fishing shirts" with the sunblock fabric. Columbia makes a great one. They wick fast and hold up quite well. Shop around and you can find them on sale at the big box outdoor stores. Between us we probably have a dozen that we have acquired over the years.

I try brands before settling on repeat purchases.
Two that I repeat purchase, Columbia and Adidas. Columbia for daily wear, Adidas for compression clothing.
Under Armor wore out the fastest for me, Nike I avoid as much as possible for multiple reasons.
