Outdoor Clothing for Hot Weather
As much of the US is baking in record high temperatures, us coastal dwellers in Western Washington have only had to endure a few days of 90 degree plus temperatures this year. That’s fine with me. Give me mid-seventies in the summer and I’m happy.
When I was preparing for a recent to trip to the WEROCK competition in Goldendale (located in Eastern Washington - the hot side of the state), the forecast was for 100-degree plus temperatures. I knew my standard of dress (t-shirt and jeans or shorts) would not be the most comfortable and practical clothing to wear for two days of photographing a rock crawl event (even though that was what most people wore). I wanted clothing that would accomplish several things.
