Ah, the saving grace of mesh stitching. Whether it’s on a skirt or shirt, this often overlooked design detail offers plenty of ventilation and comes in clutch for hot weather. As seen on this tank top, which is on sale for $15 thanks to a double discount, its breathable fabric with a back mesh design and general fit won’t cling to the skin. The relaxed, cropped fit makes it easy to pair with workout shorts or high-waisted bottoms.

Willit UPF 50+ Women’s Swim Cover-up 

Protect your skin against the sun after a dip in the ocean or the hotel pool with this UPF 50+ cover-up. The sun-shielding fabric is made to withstand strong UVA/UVB rays, while the fiber-mesh material is designed to help keep you cool. In fact, the fabric was specially made with tiny holes that move moisture away from the body. Besides its quick-drying capabilities, the loose-fitting hood can be detached or used as another heat-blocking shield.

Yqxcc 4-pack Cooling Towel 

In the height of summer, a cool towel is always a welcome item to have on hand. This on-sale four-pack of cooling towel is activated by rinsing the microfiber mesh in water, wringing it out, and placing it on areas of your body that need a good cool down. When the water evaporates on the towel, it causes a cooling effect that is similar to an air conditioner. What could be better than that on a hot day?

Supreme comfort and cooling technology go hand in hand with this sweat-resistant T-shirt. This quick-drying shirt offers a four-way stretch construction and its raglan sleeves allow for great movement. Plus, the breathable, moisture-wicking fabric will prove its worth when you’re up against the heat — whether that’s on the trails, at the beach, or exploring a new city.

Usever Men’s Athletic Shorts

The touted cooling effect from these shorts is thanks to the lightweight polyester and nylon material. They’re designed to immediately wick away moisture, whether you’re sweating it out during a workout or braving a walking tour. Quick-drying and stretchy, the shorts’ 5-inch inseam also offers freedom of movement, and their sleek look gives them a put-together feel that won’t give off gym short vibes.

Csite Cooling Hoodie Towel

A truly versatile piece, this cooling hoodie from Csite doubles as a towel and offers sun protection from harsh rays. The outdoor-favorite accessory uses evaporative technology to lower body temperature and wick away moisture. Just wet it, wring it, and place it on your head for an instant cooldown. Plus, it’s machine washable.

Bvvu Women’s Quick-dry Hiking Pants

Stay cool, dry, and trail-ready with these pants. The water-resistant, stretchy material makes them ideal for long sunny treks, though they’d work just as well for a long-haul flight and running errands in the mid-day heat. The adjustable elastic waistband ensures a comfy fit, while the zippered pockets keep your stuff secure.

Gofiep Women’s Workout Dress With Built-In Shorts

Constructed with the intent to be both breathable and convenient, this dress from Amazon activewear brand Gofiep features a soft fabric that cools the skin, a flattering, U-shaped neckline, and an above-the-knee length, all of which help prevent overheating while still keeping things breezy. The built-in shorts (included) have pockets for storage as well, plus a good level of compression to keep everything in place.

Baleaf Women’s Workout Top

Stylish and convenient, this Baleaf cropped, short-sleeve shirt is made with a breathable,  moisture-wicking, and sun-resistant fabric for optimal cooling comfort and protection. A slightly open back design offers great ventilation, and adds a little style to your outfit (you could easily take this top from a casual day sightseeing to a dressier evening out with the right bottoms and accessories). Pair the cropped tee with your favorite workout shorts or a flowy skirt.

Geyoga Cooling Neck Gaiter

Protecting the neck isn’t difficult, but doing it in a way that doesn’t overheat the body is. Fortunately, this cooling neck gaiter from Geyoga is breathable and offers protection from harmful UV rays. It’s made with an elastic material that easily covers the face, neck, or head. On sale for just $10, this six-pack comes in multiple colorways and will be one of your favorite budget-friendly buys of the season.

Zooron Sun Hat 

A well-designed hat that also stands up to the sun, this topper is sure to keep you cool and your face protected this summer. The hat’s wide brim can be rolled up or worn down, depending on preference, while the quick-drying fabric makes this perfect for outdoor and waterside excursions. The mesh screen vents on the hat’s side also encourage airflow. Plus, this sun hat easily folds up and packs neatly into your beach, pool, or carry-on bag.

Ksmien Women’s Lightweight Workout Shorts

Built with a weightless and quick-drying material, these athletic shorts have a wide and elastic waistband and side split design for free movement.

Toumett Women’s UPF 50 Long-sleeve Shirt 

A comfortable button-up shirt is always a win during hot weather, especially when it’s lightweight like this option from Toumett. The Omni-Shade UPF 50 fabric and a mesh-lined vented back provide great sun protection and airflow for the body, while the moisture-wicking fabric can help keep you cool and dry all day. And on sale for just $32, you’ve got to add this Amazon no. 1 best-seller in activewear button-down shirts to your summer travel wardrobe.

The bladeless construction makes it kid-friendly, too, and this hands-free winner is currently on sale for just $30.
