    Need some recommendations on some hot weather work clothes. I am on my feet all day walking through corn and soybean fields. I wear tyvek a couple times a week for sometimes long lengths of time. Last year I was spraying, wearing tyvek, in 110° heat index. Not smart/ideal but when something has to get done its gotta get done. There isn't a lot that will help in that extreme of a situation but anything is better than cotton.

    Looking for recommendations on:

    Long sleeved, breathable, moisture wicking type shirts
    Moisture wicking socks
    Light weight, breathable steel toed boots

    I've tried about 5 different pairs of boots in the last 5 years and none have been great but the ones i'm currently wearing are horrible.

    Thanks!

    I work a lot in hot countries and always wear the long sleeve Omni shade fishing shirts by Columbia. They work for me keeping me cool and pretty dry.

    Iv worn these all day in places like Australia, Qatar, Dubai, Singapore, etc, you name it any where hot and humid and I wont wear anything else now.
