    I forgot it'll stink more, especially on the underarm areas. LOL

    Underarmour heat gear tees and compression briefs/boxers. A bit pricey but no more diaper rash!

    When are you going into food delivery? I've been running for Sysco a little while now and found my biggest problem is shoes. We're required to wear safety shoes with almost full leather coverage. I probably buy a new pair every 3 months. I recommend a no slip with a honeycomb type pattern for the soles; not the no slip designed for mud. Huge difference, learned the hard way!

    UnderArmour briefs & tee-shirts.

    Poly fabric. Wears like iron. Cold wash (so get same type socks).

    No cotton.

    5.11 shirts and pants. Same qualities as above.

    Been doing it now for a month. Definitely going to go With under armour stuff for the summer.

    I wear Merrell non slip work boots. They're 130 bucks but worth it. At the end of the day my feet, knees and back rarely hurt.

    I'm considering trying poly briefs and socks for the summer. I've always just worn cotton; but as I get older comfort seems more important. I just picked up a pair of redwings new Cool Tech athletic shoes. Really like them and Sysco paid for them.

    Texas. Climbing rail cars and underneath to load tanker.

    Some of the clothes have gone seven years. Initial expense was high (5-sets clothes plus 10-sets underclothes) but my laundry bag doesn’t need a forklift. And easier to hang.

    I can hit a truck stop and in two hours pump 140-glass, clean; park, do laundry, ####, shower, shave PLUS eat a sit down meal and have it re-hung or folded before leaving.

    Don’t do that very often, but ask yourself if those hot stinking jeans and Hanes Underoos are worth it. Because wash and dry ALONE can’t be done that fast or easily.

    Hot in summer and cold in winter. No thanks.

    Just follow laundering directions. I buy off of Amazon. 5.11 also has retail.

    TAC LITE and TAC LITE PRO

    UNDER ARMOUR from Academy Sporting Goods. Several types and lengths so look for vent material. Onto thigh, but not longer.

    I also use a half dozen “delicates” mesh bags to not lose stuff in machines. All underclothes.

    Careful about drying. Don’t cook.

    Go to your nearest adult sex shop. Pick you up a few pairs of the studded jock strap type undies, color of your choice of course. They're stylish, allow adequate breathing in your haunches area (caboose, buttocks, derriere, what have you) and offer great support for your pork sword and coin purse down there. Are you picking up what I'm layin down? Plus, your lady, (assuming you have one) will get a real thrill when you shed your work clothes after work. Plus, the extra mental boost of feeling like a walking adonis, you know a real Rico Suave type will have you oozing confidence. You'll be beating them off with a stick. You won't even realize you're working. Just a thought and I'm not claiming I've done it.....yet, but the theory is sound....to me at least.

    These are what I wear year round. I run 2 miles a day in the summer, and these work about the best for wicking the moisture. And for the price, ya can't go wrong. Screenshot_20190419-030606.png
