    Staying Dry in Summer Heat

    Hey guys I figured I'd share how I dress for details. I'm in central texas and it's dang hot all summer and the humidity level is crazy!!! But anyway, after a few trial and error dress codes, I have found a combination that works. I know we all want to look semi-professional, but most people know we have a dirst, sweaty job. So this is what I wear and it all revolves around microfiber.

    I always wear Nike Dri-fit sleeveless shirts. They like everything else I wear have the wicking effect, it doesn't soak up the heat... it really allows it to evaporate.

    Underarmor underwear... sounds crazy, but if your a dude and your sweaty and you wear cotton underwear.... well to keep if PG you know what I mean

    Underarmor socks... keeps your feet really dry. Before I would have to change my cotton socks after every detail!!

    Mesh shorts... comfortable and again keeps you dry.

    Sweat band... looks kinda retro. But I sweat alot, even with my tent and I don't want my sweat dripping inside the car or on the paint after I cleaned it.

    That's it. I know it's kinda off the wall. But hey we all need to be super careful when it's summer time. None of was wants anyone to get hurt or anything like that. Be blessed and I hope this gives you ideas!!!

    thanks for the PG rating ....

    I'd polish naked (no chance of scratching the paint) but would permanently scar the youth in the neighborhood. I must look like Chewbacka when waking by the window in the morning !!

    ya but if you polished naked....then your skin would touch the car and you would have smear marks!!!

    maybe wrap yourself in saran wrap then you'll be ok

    Also baby powder all over your body will help with sweat too. Drink plenty of water too guys it would suck if someone lands in the hospital again.
