Went to BPS recently and found some good deals on some nice hot weather clothes.
First were some Red Head Dillon shorts, which are made out of 77% nylon and 23% cotton on clearance for 20. Really like the ratio of synthetic to natural, however, it doesn't wick as well as i thought it would. Thought it might have a sort of Dri-Release effect, but better since there was a little more overall cotton. I'm wondering if the cotton listed is just for the pocket liner material? Either way, 20 dollars isn't bad for some good quality nylon hiking type shorts.
Second is a World Wide Sportsman, Sedona Bay stretch twill l.s. button up mostly nylon shirt for 50. MUCH better than the previous WWS nylon ls button shirt i had bought. This more recent model wicks really well, is more breathable, and is a nice thin, stretchy, slightly textured material. I actually like it slightly more than the Kuhl Wunderer shirt in some ways. However, wish the spandex content was a little lower–at 14% it's on the high side so may take a bit longer to fully dry than some more pure wicking nylon shirts. 50 is the regular price–if it goes on sale, would be a really good bargain. A little overbuilt with two large breast pockets.
The next is a Columbia t-shirt. Probably can be found for same price at other stores, but i paid 20 for it. Don't know the model name off the top of my head, but nice combo of 67% polyester and 33% cotton. Wicks REALLY well, and should be definitely a bit less stinky than pure polyester wicking shirts that don't have something like a polygiene treatment.
A side note: About a year ago, i bought an Under Armour "Iso-chill" ls shirt at BPS that was listed on both the outer hanging tag and inner fiber content tag as being "nylon" (& some spandex). But now, they have an exactly same looking and feeling shirt there, where the inside tag fiber content shows mostly polyester. I'm confused–are one of them labeled wrong, or did they just change the fiber content and keep everything else exactly the same? I bought the shirt precisely because i thought it was mostly nylon.
