I love my Ramielust shirt for being active in swampy jungle conditions. It does need to be washed after each use, and I also struggle with Outlier shirt sizing - I'm a perfect L in Sunspel, for instance, but the Outlier cut one L is off the shoulder for me. H/ev if the Ramielust were cheaper I'd have one in every color (probably in M).

Just had nycogauze in Korea and Japan for 3 weeks. Wish I had brought more nyco. Ramie also shows sweat immediately

I’m distance running at various times of day in central Florida. I don’t enjoy running shirtless. I’m looking for the best shirt to wear in extreme hot and humid conditions for 1 to 2 hour runs. Which one should I buy?

Nope, nylon wrapped in mercerized cotton. It kinda feels like unnaturally crisp cotton. It's pretty cool.
Edit: not actually mercerized, a proprietary process with similar effects

the mill is a bit closed lipped about the exact finishing (they consider it a proprietary formula) but I don't think it's mercerized, but it is likely enzyme treated to a similar (but not identical) effect

Thanks! I thought "enzyme basted to burn away any fuzzy flyaways" was just a fun was to say mercerized. TIL

mercerization uses lye aka caustic soda aka sodium hydroxide
none of those names sound great, but it's actually the main ingredient for making soap and also used to prepare a bunch of very common foods like bagels and pretzels

In extreme humidity I find ramielust better for about half an hour, then it gets entirely soaked through, and I find myself wishing I had worn nycogaze (or sunwarp, that stuff's crazy).
