Puzzled

We're going to Utah on Saturday for a week for lots of walking/hiking, and a day rafting. Since the weather forecast is in the 100's I figured I should get a few shorts and tops specifically for active wear. So we went to the sporting goods store and I got two pair shorts and two tops. They're supposed to be moisture wicking and cool. But the tops are very stretchy and snug fitting and I'm having a hard time believing something form fitting could be cool. But that's what they're made for. This is the first time I've ever bought 'exercise' type duds, so I'm looking for opinions!

A day later.....

Anything snug will be appreciated by the man in your life. And, generally, most men who see you wearing it.

The ones who don't appreciate it, well, who cares about them?

LOL!! So comfort be damned, eh?

The tight-fitting clothes, while pleasing to the eye, are better for sports like cycling - where you get a breeze. Hiking clothes should be loose fitted and comfy. Dang it!!

CRUD! So I have two tops I can't wear for hiking. Oh well.

Thanks for the info, Gary :) Long time no see!
