DAILY washing, drying & applying FRESH deodorant will help to keep that away or at lease help a great deal with that. Doing so keeps your friends near & dear and willing to have conversations during and at the end of the day.

Cotton is death in the winter but great in the summer. All old dress shirts would be retired to “fishing shirts” and worn for all outdoor activities.
That’s what I used to wear paddling.
