Hi kids,

We are doing a bunch of hot weather trips this year.

I've got a hat, tevas, my camelbak hydration backpack, sunglasses and
sunscreen.

Now, what to do about clothes? I get a lot of stuff from Lands End
but they don't appear to have anything I'm looking for - I want more
like a sports fabric, that can dry quickly and is very light weight.
I am a low-end plus size, so depending on the manufacturer, I might
fit into an XL or XXL, but generally I get a better fit if there are
designated plus sizes.

Has anyone bought stuff from Eddie Bauer or LL Bean, or what about
some of the sports lines at sporting catalogs?

I'm especially concerned about shorts. I've tried to go in denim
shorts before and they weren't very comfortable, and I'm afraid cotton
jersey will be too hot, and will ride up my legs with a lot of
walking.

I would love to hear about your favorite hot weather outfit for hiking
those 12 hour days in the parks! :-)- Hide quoted text -

I wear sun protective clothing. I buy from Stingray in Australia, I
just like their clothing - but there are other companies like Coolibar
also. The clothes are more expensive (maybe not than Lands End!), but
the clothing is VERY lightweight (great for packing as well, I am
wearing one of my sun protective outfits right now), washes in the
sink or shower, and dries in hours. And I don't have to buy as much
sunblock.
