quigley0 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I am taking a trip to a place where the temp can reach 140 degrees (f). I need to know what type of clothes to pack, and where to purchase them (online). I live east-coast US, and will probably pay for overnight shipping, so someplace in the US would be preferable. Any ideas welcome, pants, shirts. Oh yeah, Pants are the required dress, so no shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DsnBehind Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Best clothing for a hot weather climate. None. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyTwenty Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Where the hell are you going? Serious, it ain't safe to be walking around in 140 F heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tang_tito Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 140F???? that's around 60 C where is such a temperature? is very very hot.......... :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poind Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Um, believe 140 degrees Farenheit would even beat by a few degrees some (relatively local?) records set in places like Death Valley, CA. No sane place can have temperatures like that and outright require pants. For general hot-weather stuff (where style and whatever is not a primary concern), would generally recommend REI (rei.com) and looking into their various lightweight shorts, shirts, hats, sunscreen, etc.... Better double-check those expected temperatures and conditions, and who the heck would be "requiring" pants in such.... Last I heard, highest temp ever in U.S. at the least was once 134F in Death Valley in the heart of summer. Assuming you're actually looking at lower temps but hot weather, still scout REI, and look into Khakis at places like Banana Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Extremely loose clothing that breathes. Don't go with singlets/shorts/short sleeve shirts either...you'll burn! Even with sunscreen. I'd wear a loose, long sleeved shirt that can breathe. A good pair of loose jeans (military pants are also good) A good sturdy pair of boots are best to prevent your feet burning, and also to mask any bad foot odours caused by sweat ;) And the ultimate for beating the heat....a good bandana. The night before you go out, slightly moisten it and freeze it overnight. Take it out about 10 minutes before you put it on, and it will be lovely and cool...you can wear this under a baseball cap if you'd prefer. They're my tips, from a drought stricken area of Australia where our top temp has hit 40 degrees CELSIUS several times already this year. editGood god, just checked the temperature conversion.... Here it is f'ing hot when it reaches 40 deg celsius (which is 104F to you non-metricised yanks ;) ) 140F is 60C!!! Sweet merciful crap! Where you going? The Nevada desert?

aemon Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I doubt it will be 140 degrees. Currently Al'Aziziyah, Libya holds the record at 57.7 C (135.9 F) on the 13th September, 1922 Seeing as the record high is less than 140 and over 80 years old, I would bet you won't be seeing 140 this trip. note: for the record, Death Valley, USA comes in second at 56.7 C (134.0 F) on the 10th July, 1913 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstein Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I'd say anything 100% cotton....very breatheable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer cowboy hats, boony hats, or full type hats not baseball caps because they don't help the back of your neck. And lotsa water and salty foods.

Jetta Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I simply wouldn't go if it's going to be that hot. Unless you'll be indoors most of the time, I would pass on being in that kind of heat especially if there is to be humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
