What shirt are you guys wearing for those days in early September that it's hot as ****?? I guess we could call it our first layer?

I wear my Rokslide shirts

I'd love to see the Rokslide shirts in white or another color other than black. Anyway, I usually just have a shortsleeve merino shirt of some sort. Weighs nothing and is good for hiking in and out as well as a lightweight shirt to sleep in.
 
I have several merino shirts that I might wear. Just so it's not cotton. By the time I'd get to the top, I wouldn't even be able to get the shirt off if it was made of cotton.
 
I'm switching to the new Sitka core synthetic t-shirt. Way more comfortable than merino when it's hot and the odor control has been impressive in testing so far. Also seems cooler against the skin and certainly less clammy

comfortwise when its super hot, synthetic > merino for me too. the odor factor though is the tradeoff i still think merino takes the cake in that dept
 
I use a plain white cotton under shirt. I wear that into camp and then on my hike out. I like the fact that if it gets dirty, or bloody, it doesn't really matter because it's a cheap cotton shirt.

We currently have a white sleeveless poly shirt on the Rokslide store.
 
What are the Rokslide shirts made from? We wear these stupid cotton shirts for the FS and I sweat like a baboon during the rut.

We currently have styles in cotton, and poly and are ordering more in a cotton-poly blend
