Yep, plus you need to start wearing your gear around a bit outdoors. Try to get your body used to the clothing plus the warmer temps. Just remember to eat and drink tons of water.

Breech clout with a thigh length shirt is the way too go. Roll up yer sleeves and spritz a little water on yerself everynow and then..good to go. Modesty and dignity intact!

Try wearing a bandanna or something like it.Brain not working this morning, forget the PC term. When it's hot like that around here, it's my hat that makes me the hottest(holds in the heat). You'll get used to your clothing like billh suggested.

Listen to the guys,  long cotton/linen shirt, breech cloth or cloth leggins( fruit of the loom optional :mini-devil-28492:), old original toques were often cut off sleeves used for storing food  or money- think some ice would be nice to drip down back, or just stay indoors under the ac during the day and become a "nite camper, stalker or what ever".  All joking aside,  main thing is to take care of your self and Keep that internal body temp down, water,  chrrs, water, chrrs water.  Nah forget the water ifn ya a notion, fluids.  Camp safe.   :-*

The light weight Osnaburg has a somewhat open weave and is way cooler than  canvas or heavy wool.
It is still cotton and will hold moisture.
Keep to the shade hope for a breeze and stay hydrated!
After you adjust to the weather you will be fine.
Its rained so much around hear the hot weather sneaked up on us!

Capt: I think I can top that!  Come to Ohio in the summer 80 to 90 degrees and then come to work with me for a day; When the RED-ORANGE steel that is being rolled - just keeps coming. The Steel mill is NO place to work in the summer - If you work in Hot Ops...  :mini-devil-28492: Just Couldn't Resist.    Tim
