Shorts and tee-shirt - I don't hunt shirtless, but felt compelled to remove it as a matter of urgency to prevent toppling over after quite an effort to get this young boar, as it was dangerously warm and humid; boots if there's the possibility of having to walk through a swamp; thongs (flip-flops, I think you call them) if just walking down a creek.

Cabela's MicroTex Light is very comfy when it is hot.

Arwin

boxer shorts under my ASAT Leafy suit and thats all...besides shoes. That mesh material is really nice and cool plus keeps the bugs off.
Just one more step please!

A bug tamer on top with maybe a light t-shirt.

A microlight merino wool T-shirt will be more comfortable than cotton in hot weather, and breathe better (and be less stinky) than any synthetic shirt.

A pair of jeans and a T-shirt   :thumbsup:

In La. as you know it can be hot and humid even in Dec.I do most of the above except the loin cloth and you know what I still sweat a lot just take lots of showers and plenty of cotton clothes.Kip

Our bow season opened Friday. It was 90 degrees with 90% humidity. It will be like this or hotter till about October. I wear light cotton pants (ripstop BDU's) and  a sleeveless teeshirt under a bug tamerjacket.  The sythetics do nothing but stick to you in this heat and humidity. The biggest thing is to get acclimated to it. I work outdoors in the heat 8-12 hours a day. You guys that are in the AC need to get out in the heat a few hours every day. That will do more than any set of high tech clothing will. Drink water and take your time getting to a stand.

Lslite

T shirt & shorts with a wet towel and battery operated fan while hunting evenings in my pop-up blind.Texas Hill Country mornings are usually comfortable enough to wear light cotton camos.

Widowbender

I have an under armor loose gear long sleeve t-shirt...also wear a leafy wear bug suit. That under armor is expensive...I bought mine on clearance...I picked up one of those in Wally world's version yesterday for $15...

Underarmour is the way to go I found some onsale at one of my hunting stores locally. When it is sweltering I wet it down and let it air dry. Keeps you super cool if there is a tiny breeze. Great stuff.

Ditto on those who love Underarmour. Pricey, but like quality wool, well worth it if comfort means anything to you.
I am a heavy sweater. I mean, if flows off my chin if it's super hot and muggy. Cotton is useless. I gets soaked and stays soaked. UA dries right away.
I'm sure some knockoff's are probably just as good, but I love my UA and know what I'm buying.
One huge hint of advice...get the UA long boxer shorts. I'm here to tell you, that when it's 80 plus and you're walking thru the woods, the UA boxer shorts keep your "lower unit" dry and comfortable. LOL I'm dead serious, don't leave home for the woods without them. Sure, they're crazy expensive, like $20 a pair, but if you've ever been out for several hours when it's 80 plus and the lower unit is still daisy fresh, they're worth $100 to me! LOL
Don't knock it until you try it. UA is to hot weather what wool is to cold weather.

HATCHCHASER

It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

Jeremy

I have a cheap mesh bug suit I got from Cabelas a few years ago for the early season and wear it just over boxers and maybe a t-shirt.  When the temps start to drop a little more I pull out the longsleeve T and surplus BDUs.

Bow season cranks up in September down here in FL.  It is brutally hot and humid.  I was a sceptic of the AU stuff until I tried it.  Now I am a believer.  I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
