The photo above shows some wise choices regarding wardrobe in canoe country... light colored tops and zip-off pants. NEVER leave camp without long pants- flies or skeeters can get to you any time and anywhere, especially your ankles, if you're paddling in the bow of the canoe where there isn't a breeze near the ankles.
Fabrics that breathe, dry quickly, and weight next to nothing are readily available for both pants and shirts. A good pair of pants/shirt will run around $50 each at full-price, but look for deals close to half off if you can time it right. Light colored clothes help to keep you cool because they don't absorb as much radiant heat from the sun and they also make it easier to see any ticks that may be looking for a free meal. High-tech fabrics will breathe easy, dry quickly, and some even include built-in tick repellent that is good for up to 30 washes.
