    I know it sucks, but wear plain white cotton t-shirts. AND put sunscreen on your skin underneath the shirt too. I had a couple of redhead friends who marched corps with me and they would burn right through their shirts even. The best solution that they both found was to put sunscreen on all over and then put a white t-shirt on. They never tanned, which was so sad because the rest of us looked practically African even though most were Caucasian, so they stood out like sore thumbs. You will also actually be less hot in a cotton t-shirt because the shirt will be reflecting the sunlight instead of letting your skin absorb it.
