Ultra thin lightweight clothes

Nutterbuster said:
Field and Stream's lightweight ripstop poly cargo pants combined with UA threadborne shirts is the lightest combination I have found, and cheap to boot! I wear it during those September squirrel/hog hunts when it's still pushing 90 some days. I wear cotton boxers under it though, synthetic underwear are absolutely terrible in my book.

Also, on a hot day a hydroflask with some iced down Gatorade makes a load of difference.

Thanks I’ll check them out too for sure
 
I walk in wearing pretty much my boxers and put on a net leafy suit when I get to where I'm going. Haven't run into anyone yet on the walk in but would make for an interesting conversation.

That and the skeeters and bull gnats here. Not to mention the thorn bushes,thorn trees and blackberry bushes.
 
We just got a Duluth Trading Company near me, and I got lost in that store for a few hours. They have a line of undershirts, underwear, shirts, and pants that always feel cool to the touch. It sounds gimmicky, but every time you touch a piece, it feels like it came out of a refrigerator. Apparently they apply a microscopic layer of jade to the fabric to aid in thermal dissipation..... science, huh.

It is their Armachillo line.

x2 - The long sleeve armachillo shirts are great for the woods in the summer. and tougher than you would think as light as they are.
They really are cool to the touch. Kinda weird. I just picked up a tee to try out under the Savannah coveralls.
The Duluth stuff is geared towards work clothing and is great quality down to the socks. Not cheap tho.
Much of my work clothing is Duluth and it just holds up. Get on the mailing list as they run sales all the time.
 
I e got a few things from Duluth Trading, didn’t even think about them. I’m not a “gotta have camo” kind of guy either, so I’ll check out some more of their stuff. I know their firehose pants are nearly indestructible and pretty comfortable too. I’ll see if I can find some sales. I tried to find the Scent Blocker featherlight that ImThere recommended but only finding it in certain sizes, is it discontinued?
 
Anybody tried the Nomad all season cooling shirts and pants? They have them marked way down right now. Like $25 for shirt and $30 for pants. Any body had any experience?

Almost any of the leafy 3D camo would be great in hot weather. They are nothing more than a light open mesh material with a leafy nylon material sewn onto it. You can just wear your skiveys under it. You won't stay any cooler...

I had an ASAT leafy suit, and it seemed like my heat wouldn’t come through it for some reason.. like air couldn’t pass though unless it was a really hard wind. Makes no sense, I know.. but it felt like a sauna suit.. how that’s possible, I may never know.. and it felt really hard, like a screen door haha. Maybe I should have washed it about 10 times to see if it would have softened up, I just said to heck with it and sold it.
 
You can’t expect someone like @DaveT1963 to understand today’s fashion.. if you’re not in crocs, you’re not in style! Haha jk, I actually have a love/hate relationship with mine, love how comfortable they are and use them for slippers at home, but wouldn’t be caught dead in public in those things haha. They are Realtree camo at least, I can blend right into my surroundings while taking the trash out!

I was looking at some lightweight stuff that is supposed to be their early season/warm weather run and fun type clothes. If they’re made good I wouldn’t have a problem spending $50-$60 on shirt and pants since they’re marked down so far
