Hey guys.

On Saturdays this summer, we’re sending a quick roundup of things worth a look. Gear, finds, ideas, and maybe a few things that make you say, “I definitely don’t need that, but…”

Today’s Theme: How to Dress for the Heat Without Looking Like You Quit

We brought in a ringer for this one.

Ben O’Meara is the Chief Brand Officer at Huckberry, dad to Zoie, 6, and Aila, 4. When he’s not working, he’s traveling with his family, training for his first 40k at UTMB in Chamonix, or playing sandlot baseball with the Austin Moontowers; he’s also probably being very judgmental about lobster rolls. Proud Mainer. Comes with the territory.

Why Ben Likes It?

"Moisture-wicking, cooling, easy to wear in the heat. But it still looks and feels like a vintage tee, not one of those shiny performance shirts. As much as I like the idea of working out in an all-cotton tee, hot summer says otherwise. This solves both.”

Best for:

Daily wear with jeans, workouts, and travel. Elevated enough to wear around, technical enough to sweat in.

“Chemical-free, founded by Kelly Slater, and stays on during hot summer sessions in and out of the water.

And if there’s anything I hate more in summer, it’s trying to wrangle little kids with goopy sunscreen all over my hands. This is super portable, easy to apply, and worth keeping in every bag you use in the summer.”

Why Ben Likes These?

“I really don’t like “dressing up,” and working at Huckberry, I don’t really have to. But I love pieces that can flex up when needed and still fit into your regular wardrobe. Casual Saturday, beers with buddies, or cleaning up a bit for whatever the occasion.

I love these products, especially for summer. Linen is a no-brainer in hot, sweaty weather, but the versatility of the silhouettes here is what makes them work.

And I’m all in on Huaraches. They’re a great sandal replacement. Easy with shorts and tees, but still cool when you want to look a little more put together.”

Why Ben Likes It?

“Love everything Snow Peak designs - first and foremost, functional quality. But a beautiful attention to detail, as Japanese brands do better than most. This is the ultimate family tent for summer adventures.”

Why Ben Likes It?

“I know vintage Rolex Subs are the grail for a lot of people, but I got my first Tudor this past year and have gone deep on their story. I especially love the shield of Tudor representing the protection of the Rolex crown.

This 1970s Tudor Snowflake Submariner is a deep cut, and I love the blue dial. Something about a vintage, well-patinated dive watch gets me every time, but especially in the summer.”
