I work mostly outside for my job in construction. I've been using polyester sun hoodies for a few years now and they are mostly good. They do a good job of letting air move across my skin without letting me get sunburned. However I don't like how quickly they start having baked in stink from sweat and I've been looking into different materials.

My goal with my next purchase

1. Better for the environment
2. Less maintenance with cleaning
3. More efficient

I think bamboo or linen might be my next step in my fabric journey based on my recent research but I'm looking for any assistance from someone with more experience in hot/humid climates.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
