What to look for
Lightweight fabric that dries quickly, a relaxed fit that lets air move, and a design without heavy seams. Moisture-wicking polyester is a common choice because it carries sweat away from the skin and dries faster than heavy cotton.
Short or long sleeves
Long sleeves cover the arms from direct sun and many outdoor crews prefer them when the fabric is light. Short sleeves can feel cooler in still air. Choose what your crew will actually wear. See long sleeve work shirts.
Colour
Lighter colours reflect more heat than very dark ones, though a light shirt shows dirt faster. Many crews choose mid-tones with dark accents.
