Hey, when you?re out going on a hike, whether it be a short hike or a long hike one of the most important things that you want to consider is just being comfortable in the clothing that you wear. Cotton is wonderful, it?s very comfortable but it doesn't work perspiration and it doesn't dry very fast. So one of the things you want to make sure that you consider when you're purchasing clothing for your hike is make sure it is a quick dry polyester type material. That will allow you to be much more comfortable during your hike. The shirts that we sell at Bill Jackson's are very comfortable because they are lightweight, they breathe, they have vents in the back. See you can see the mesh right here. They are also 30 plus SPF in other words they protect you from the sun. The same thing applies to the pants. This pair of pants that we have here. The legs actually zip out here and these pants convert into a pair of shorts. So if you start out in the morning and it's cool and then in the afternoon it gets warm, all you have to do is slip the legs out, stick them into your backpack and you be comfortable for the rest of your hike.
