[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 203168, member: 172"] This. I'll also add that lightweight wool hiking socks tend to be more comfortable than the equivalent cotton socks in those conditions, and that you'll be more comfortable if you let your body acclimate to the heat (don't sit in air conditioning during breaks, and don't go overboard with the ice water and cold towel). Also, wide-brimmed hats can help provide localized shade. On the hydration side of things, I like mixing a sports drink (Gatorade/Powerade) 1:1 with water (electrolytes, hydration, some sugar), and keeping the beverage cool, but not ice cold. [/QUOTE]
