    But if it is hot you are supposed to drink plenty of fluids!

    good long sleeve shirts for keeping the sun off worked for me and those fluids should be just plain water, room temp.

    Definitely, I was more worried about undergarments.

    I never did LTL but when I had to wear FR clothes hauling LPG in south tx in the summer, I took extra tshirts.
    I'd load the truck, peel off that shirt, put on a dry one
    Then unload, peel off that shirt, put on a dry one. Much better than driving with sweat soaked shirts.

    I'm not a driver but I spent 7 years doing concrete work and bricklaying, sweating my balls off. I'm also very active outdoors riding, hiking, kayaking, etc.

    I like Columbia's Omni-Wick shirts (I only have the short and long sleeve tees, nothing collared).

    Cotton khaki work pants. Durable, light, and they dry really fast.

    I generally go cotton, if we are going to have a fire today, I rather see it burn away than melt into the skin and be part of the problem until chopped away and re-grafted in surgery.

    Something about polyester and my body chemistry creates pretty pungent body odor.
