I'm a right sweaty betty, even in the winter, and travelling next month to a place likely to be sunny, hot and have high humidity.
Can anyone recommend a good supplier for lightweight and breathable clothing for such conditions?
Many thanks

I've used Rohan extensively for years. Superb tropical & Arctic wear. Not cheap but it lasts.

Thanks, that's what I initially thought but then I started reading on some forums that cottons can get a bit waterlogged in high humidity and not disperse the moisture and stuff about wicking etc etc.
Just wondered if anyone had experience of such things.

Just to add, the Black's on North Street has fantastic service. I bought a winter coat in there in October and they were really helpful without trying to sell me the most expensive thing in the shop. Highly recommend going in there.

Under Armour Heatgear and Coldblack, but it's pretty much only 'sports' clothing.

If clothes are cheaper in Brazil than here............travel light and buy clothes once you're out there.

It's not for the world cup unfortunately (or maybe fortunately). I go next month but thanks to advice on here I have found a few things although Herr Tubthumper's thongs might also be useful.
