Clothes for hot weather

I have been off the mountain this summer, and have realized that I need cooling/moisture wicking long sleeve shirts and pants. Mosquitoes are killing me and it is 100 F+!!! Any recommendations?

Natural fibres, woven rather than knitted, loose fitting, long sleeves. Water can be applied - i.e. poured over to add portable air-con.  Add a hat, wet keeps the brain cool.  Also a wet cotton bandana really helps. Regular summer temperatures in  Oz often exceed 100°F -  a 10 day period over that not unknown.  
Mosquitos less likely to bite if some sort of concentrated brewers yeast add to diet (we use the dreaded Vegemite - not liked by many, it's an  acquired taste). There must be a U.S. equivalent spread? It's also high in vitamins of the B group - so maybe mushrooms?
I know there are modern self wicking tops used by sports folk, but I have no experience of those.  Perhaps others can help with that.

Cotton is the way to go.  

Those sports garments that say they are wicking are usually polyester and they really the best choice?

Are you settled in one location?  In that case it might do to try to find and control where the mosquitoes are breeding....it's usually in human trash of some kind within a few hundred feet.  Usually for heat I rely on as little clothes as possible, combined with frequent hosings/dunkings in water if needed.  Wet hair is a big plus. Sometimes in intense mosquitoes I have gardened with a smoke pot beside me...

No, I'm not settled right now.

Linen is pretty great! It's not the best defense against a really determined mosquito (like the dreaded tiger mosquitoes that can bite through thick jeans), but it's at least a first layer defense, and it's really good for sun protection without overheating. Lightweight wool can be wicking and cooling in hot weather, too.

I also have a mix of old assorted outdoor hiking clothes and athletic wear, mostly from thrift stores, and I just rotate through them and wash them every week. If you don't care what hideous colors you wear outside in the yard, you can find a LOT of good quality outdoor clothing at thrift stores, much of it never worn! You just might wind up pairing fluorescent yellow wool socks with bright green pants and a coral orange shirt. I consider it a fashion statement!
