It works well for me under a chorister's cassock. I basically always wear a kilt to church. XMTS members will understand intuitively that almost any kilt will be cooler than trousers, particularly with layers on top.

I checked the fabric content recently, and my newish cassock is the same blend as the Marton Mills poly-viscose tartan! I'll either wear my 13-oz tank or a USAK PV in the morning. I arrive for Vigil at oh-dark thirty, but it could be 88 °F (30+ °C) before I get home. In other words, much as usual for a late Easter in the Auld South.

That's part of what I had in mind when I first ordered my 5yd casual PV. Summer in a cassock isn't always fun!

I had the same dilemma. In addition to serving as a Eucharistic minister, I am the official MC for my parish, and wore an alb for the entire Triduum. Easter Sunday there were no acolytes, so it was easy. I just had to tell myself what to do.
