Trying to beat the hot Iraqi sun, Lance Cpl. William P. Evans, a supply warehousemen, wears a common polyester performance T-shirt which is designed to wick moisture away from the skin. Currently, wearing polyester materials, which includes some types of Marine Corps issued clothing and undershirts, off forward operating bases in Iraq is prohibited because of the burn hazard. Commanders are concerned because these types of fabrics will melt to the skin of servicemembers when exposed to extreme heat or flames, commonly encountered during roadside bomb attacks.
