Default Cool underwear

Simms (powder dry?? or something like that. I have both bottoms and tops

and
it beats the old polypropolene hands down).

Sorry, no photos in abpf.

Can anyone recommend some good underwear for breathables for warm
weather?

I bought Vision Coolmax underwear for this purpose last year, but I
think they should rename them as Hotmax. Worse than any ordinary
underwear I've had.

I've also heard that there are some materials that repel dirt (in this
case I guess dirt=sweat). That would be a nice bonus for those long
hike-in fishing trips.

Hmm, I'd think the idea of wearing breathables in warmer weather is either
because:
a) the water is too warm for the usual undergarments, in which I'd suggest
wet wading, or
b) you want to keep your clothes dry, in which case I'd suggest just putting
the waders over them, or taking them off and wet wading, or
c) the water is cold, but the air is warm so getting in and out makes you
clammy.

If that's the case, then maybe some of those really wide mesh (almost
fishnet) underwear that ski bums but under their polypro? They are a cottom
weave, but the wide mesh doesn't trap much air so they stay very cool. (When
they are put under polypro, they become huge air traps and very warm, but
without a covering layer, they are quite cool.) Check out:
