I am looking for ideas on liteweight quick drying clothing styles, mainly t-shirts, both long and short sleeve and zip off pants. Thanks for all your input.

I get all my hiking clothes from here:

I especially love their Eco-Mesh pants and shirts, like this: http://www.railriders.com/store/Men_s___PantsEPM?Args=

The zippers allow for ventillation when you need it and heat retention when you are cooler. No stopping to zip off the bottom of your pants, and sun/bug protection all day. All of their stuff is the fast-drying nylon.

I got an ad in the mail the other day.

Techwick shirts are on sale for $25 until the 20th.

And, they're supposed to be anti-odor. I'll pick up a couple this weekend.

At many big box 'outdoor' stores, 'fishing' clothing is available that is the same as the high dollar 'backpacking' stuff.
My zip-off pants and hiking shirts are Columbia Brand and work great.
