OK, noted thanks; the Drymax is the coolest of their fabrics and worth checking out in-store.
@paddygonebush: You'd trust the Ockers to know what to wear to keep cool, but where would we get to look at the Brakenwear here in NZ please?
I've purchased some of the Hunters Element Superlite Shirts in the last couple of days as they met my requirements for long sleeves and pockets, and were on sale (direct) since they are being discontinued in favour of the Crux, and there was still stock in my size. I'd report back here on how I find them but it seems a bit pointless now if they will no longer be available.
An advantage of cotton as @Sarvo mentions (and is worth repeating) is that lenses can be wiped dry with cotton but not so effectively with synthetics.
Just going back to @kiwijames comment on non-camo - in this case blue; I'm not sure it has affected my hunting success, but after a number of years wearing the same thing I'm pretty sure I will be able to detect if there is a difference and am treating this proposed change more as an experiment, and an interesting one at that.
