Mike:
I hear your words and agree with them to some extent. I agree that I was much more comfortable in the button down Elbeco's vs. the pullover in the heat of the day. However, I have found that the dark micromesh is just as comfortable as the powder blue micromesh. Now I know that the laws of physics tell us that dark reflects less heat than lighter colors, thereby causing the wearing to feel much less comfortable. That is fine in theory. However, as you stated, the micromesh shirts have a "stuffiness" to them anyway. Two years ago I umped a Dixie National Tournament here in Texas, with quite the sweltering heat levels as you may imagine. The uniform of choice was the navy micromesh over grey slacks, and I was no less comfortable here in this unforgiving Texas heat than if I had been wearing the powder blue micromesh. Somehow, the fabric/knit styles tend to preempt the color theory of heat displacement in the case of the micromeshes. Just my humble opinion and observation.
