I've found looser fitting to be more comfy in high heat and humidity. A wicking polyester or thin Merino tee up top and MTB baggy shorts without a liner in them below. My favorite shorts are MUSA Boosuckers, but they are scarce. Under Armor wicking base layer boxers with microbe zapping silver

For shirts next to the skin I wear form-fitting water sport long sleeve rashguards, specifically a Patagonia R0. I then wear a nice polo shirt of my liking. This year it's some Duluth Drirelease poly/cotton(85/15) ones. For bottoms I wear Sportful Bodyfit Pro bib shorts. For the feet I wear Al

Here in Michigan it doesn't get crazy hot, but for us used to the cold, it gets hot. Humidity can be bad too. I second or third or fourth the seersucker fabric. If it is especially hot, my best trick is to put on a very heavy cotton tee shirt and jump in the lake of soak it in water. The evapor
