Having just spent 3 days in the heat and the sun of SC and FL, I'm impressed with two products: the Simms GT Tricomp LS shirt and the Simms Sungaiter.
The sungaiter covered ears, face and neck for total sunprotection. It wicked sweat and was actually comfortable in spite of the heat. It certainly beat trying to re-apply sunscreen every couple of hours over beads of sweat. Many folks are familiar with Buffs, but the Simms is much better "engineered" and much more comfortable...and it has breathing holes. An excellent accessory.
I confess I was a little skeptical of the Tricomp shirt...if for no other reason the price. But, it was everything the advertising claimed...wicking, cool, comfortable, stretch action back was great for us stout fellows, not a lot of excess fabric, zipper chest pockets. The Core3 fabric and "cool control" properties works great...as did the anti-odor properties. I've had an identical report from a customer who wore his for several days on hot trout streams.
Two products I recommend without reservation.
