___ 11 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 A big factor for me when buying clothing or gear is what is it made of and what are the properties of that material. For example I know cotton is very breathable, doesn't dry quickly, burns and isn't waterproof. Well wool is a warmer fabric, will still insulate when wet, dries faster then cotton, and smolders instead of burns. Gortex is a water proof fabric, little insulation, melts instead of burns, breathable. etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BDU shirt cotton / rip stop 2 or 4 pocket gore tex socks BDU nylon belt with water resistant boots the BDU shirt I like either 2 or 4 pocket you can use 3M scotch guard do not do the sides about 4 inches wide or under the arms or inside the shirt or under the collar in other words hang the shirt on a wide hangar like a plastic or wood for a suit jacket pin the inside center center of sleeve to side of shirt and spray well but do not saturate.... a cover depending on weather a nomex hood or any quality hat cover can strain water through it with some paper can remove water from fuel collect berries psych out opposition and keep bugs from eating your head a head net is always a good idea face cover up bug deterring in the field as everyone knows insects are the most annoying and possibly the most dangerous as in bees and disease ridden critters malaria and west Nile among others. shirt tucked and pants inside socks and taped helps with ticks getting sick anytime is a drag... strutting around like a Kenyan game ranger shorts long socks and ankle shoes I do not call them boots and a short sleeve shirt does not afford the protection required in the field if it were not so our military would dress like a day at the beach.......
