Polyester material will not melt when it is exposed to deet Polyester material will not support a flame if it is exposed to fire and will not melt on the wearer. The olive drab and grey mesh are slightly hotter. We have never experienced any problems nor have we had any complaints. The black color reflects light so it is easier to see through black mesh than it is to see through white, grey or olive drab.
People often compare looking through the black mesh to looking through dark sunglasses.
We offer white because it is cooler to wear. Many of our customers are using the shirts and pants for hiking, camping, canoeing, travel and other activities where it is not necessary to blend in to their surroundings. For peole who will be fishing or hunting, we recommend either the grey or olive drab. The white will get dirty but it is easily cleaned. It does not need to be dried because it is mesh.
