I always walk in with Gym shorts, short sleeve shirt and my rubber boots and change at the base of my tree after a quick towel off and scent wipe bath.
Im a big believer in Scentlok gear. I use the Nexus active " base layer " top and bottom as my outer layer with just a Nike combat top and bottom underneath. The Nike combat is moisture wicking.
Thermacell!

Drive as close to my stand as possible to cut down on sweating……wear some kind of camo or neutral colored t-shirt and possibly some khaki shorts….If you have your stand in a tree with some cover, with the right wind….. then all you really have to do is be still. You don’t have to have any special camo. Deer’s eyes are designed to see movement first and foremost….Just don't sit in a tree that leaves you sticking out in the open like a sore thumb. Find one you can hide in. I like two or more trees side by side so I can climb one and use the other for limb cover.

I used to hunt reguardless of temps. This will be my 42nd year chaseing them with a stick and string. Now adays, if it's hot I don't go. When I do it's, dress light and sent lock suit.

Sitka ascent series is the coolest clothing I've worn but it comes with a premium price tag in saying that tho customer service and warranty is very good and I buy gear that lasts and dont replace it much.

I carry an extra t-shirt and change once up the tree. Nothing matters as much as having a functioning THERMACELL! When it's too hot to climb, I fish the Alabama River. The water has cooled and the fish are biting.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

This is what I do, a lot of times I’ll actually change in the tree. I would never dry out if I didn’t bring a change of clothes. I love the scent wipes.

From what I tried the clothing that keeps you cool also allows mosquitoes to bite you through the material. Anyone have a set up that is both cool and protects from these pesky SOBs. Thermacell helps but they still come around.
