Lightweight shirts?

[bumpy22]

I hope there are no footpaths on your farm Tim. North Wales news - "Walker suffers serious mental trauma after nude farmer spotted tending his livestock with no more then a hat, sandals and a big...smile"

Can you just clarify mike what you boys mean with the word tending

My fault. Sorry.
I'll just go back to enjoying my spot in the sun, while it lasts.

Just checking...did I miss something? Spelling isnt my strong point so wasnt sure if you thought I was telling Tim to say sorry when in fact I was saying sorry...

Responses in themselves were amusing, just not helping me get recs for shirts. Don’t think I’d getaway with sandals & a hat while I’m on the range, plus I don’t fancy the risk of sunburn

I deploy to hot/tropical areas with heavy 5.11 cotton shirts. Light doesn't necessarily mean comfy. The cotton shirts wick nicely, provide good protection from UV too. You can also iron the **** out of them and kill parasitic nasties.

These are my go-to shirts for all occasions. Sounds like something similar.

Got a week or so of what’s likely to be hot days on the ranges coming up & wondering if anyone has any recommendations for suitable lightweight, long (or short) sleeved, safari type shirts please? Something that wicks well & ideally is UV protection too.

TIA

Enjoying Swanndri work shirts in this weather myself. Pricey but good, light and airy. Relaxed fit, 100% cotton and fairly tough wearing. They do a half button and full button style, I've got one of each and favour the half button style

Swanndri Bendigo Work Shirt

A versatile half placket shirt with a box pleat at centre back and a relaxed fit throughout, the Bendigo work shirt is built for movement. Designed for those who need durability without compromise, this navy classic features a comfortable cut that works equally well on the job site or layered...

Orvis Open caster is great, if you can find one in the size and colour you want. Love mine, very comfy in the heat.
