[pct-l] hiking shirts

[giniajim]

My favorite hiking gear is the lightest t-shirt I can find (4.7 oz), and swim shorts (7.0 oz).  Then I top it off with a wide-brimmed hat (2.7 oz), and socks (3.2 oz) of course.  Perfect!!

  Yes....I agree.
  My hiking wardrobe consists of the finest garments available at 
  Goodwill, Amvets and St. Vincent De Paul thrift stores.
  Yes Sir., this kid looks snappy on the trail......50 cents for a shirt, 
  75 cents for shorts, $1.25 for a jacket....at those prices I don't have 
  to be nervous about rolling around in the dirt getting my fancy wardrobe 
  dirty or tearing my fancy garments bushwhacking through the bushes.
  For $2.50 I can replace the dirty, torn wardrobe with another fancy 
  wardrobe.
  Like I said, on the trail, I wear only the finest garments available at 
  Goodwill, Amvets and St. Vincent De Paul.

  Now take Switchback,  he spends a fortune on his hiking wardrobe and 
  looks like he just stepped out of a fashion designers store....and when 
  he comes strutting down the trail with his solar powered fan, hand free 
  umbrella and fuzzy pink camp slippers he is a sight to see, a real show 
  stopper, every hiker babes dream.

  Yes Switchback.... you looks ever so lovely on the trail and I and all 
  the other hikers are ever so jealous.

  Fashion changes too much to keep up with it. If after all your searching 
  you still have no luck, you might try combing the thrift stores. I've 
  found some really nice shirts there, sometimes brand new with the tags 
  still on.
