In an effort to stay cool while putting the finishing touches on a roof , Staff Sgt. Jonathan B. McClary, a combat engineer, wears a polyester T-shirt with moisture wicking technology. Moisture wicking materials are a great way to stay cool during hot days, however, commanders have banned wearing these types of shirts during combat operations. Commanders are concerned because fabrics will melt to the skin of servicemembers when exposed to extreme heat or flames, commonly encountered during roadside bomb attacks. 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.
