Staying in the Hunt

 
   In the heat of the summer, many are asking themselves the question “what do I wear in this heat?”  Simplistically, the heat should dictate that less is more and therefore this wondering becomes somewhat of a situational oxymoron.  But, hey, don’t sweat it; I’ve got you covered.  

What do people who live in some of the hottest and most intense tropical climates wear?  They wear Safari Jackets, hats and weightless coverings to keep themselves cool and comfortable.  Without dating myself, I remember Mill Valley excursions with my dad and a special store that had a curious feel like it could have been in Disneyland. Still guessing?  It was the early days of Banana Republic and Safari gear was the mainstay.  Today, we see many mutations of the traditional Safari Jacket.  Here are a few variations, but the most traditional Safari Jacket will have a belt and vented back slits to facilitate the flow of air and release of body heat.
