I never wore anything synthetic as an outer garment.  Today, 100% cotton or wool except for maybe the elastic on me skivies!

rebock makes some with a nice mesh back and pits.   it really works great keeping the moisture off my skin when I work. had them for years.  must have at least 3 dozen of them.   my only gripe about them is that I can't find them locally so I have to order them from a running store chain in sacramento.

Like PegLeg I've found out about flames and sparks around polyester. I know from personal experience that spot welders can blow a hole through a cotton flannel shirt and give you second degree burns, but at least it isn't melted to your skin and continuing to burn you. I've always worn cotton or cotton/poly shirts, usually 50-60% cotton, and cotton underwear, but I don't live in a place where people commonly get swamp ass. If I ever had to move down south for any reason I think I'd wear everything moisture wicking I could get from my underwear to my shirts and pants. I consider you guys in the south to be the experts. I sometimes break a sweat but manage to get by with my plain cotton clothes that don't melt.

Running at around 90% humidity for 75% of the year, it's a way of life.

If you are outdoors for any amount of time, about the only thing to do is shower and change drawers often..... and use baby powder.  ;D ;D

We spent all last week in northeast Florida at the beach. The first day it was 98 degrees, but the rest of the week it was just in the upper 80's....but, the humidity was off the charts and the term "swamp ass" was thrown around quite a bit by campers on the loop.  ;D

It's 62* outside and 74* inside without running the furnace or air conditioner. It was too hot yesterday but feels great in here today. I might run the A/C later on if it warms up any more. You guys can keep your 90* plus, when it isn't even summer yet, temperatures.

The cure for 'Swamp Ass' is Gold Bond Powder.  Fire in the hole!!!!  The preventative is Anti-MonkeyButt-Powder.

I have 2 V-neck T-shirts that are 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The laundry instruction tags say not to use fabric softener. I never do anyway since everything comes out of the dryer soft and fluffy without it. Does anyone know why it says not to use fabric softener?

without knowing the true reason, I will submit that the fabric softener penetrates the wicking fibers and prevents them from doing what they are designed to do.
