Alright, so you should know you will never be in a situation where you won't be sweating. Add in the fact that it will rain all the time, you need to buy gear that you are essentially comfortable being at least damp in, and it should be able to handle being completely wet. You will also need to recognise that you never win the battle with bugs, you only limit the damage.
Here are some of my tips;

He used to wear those and dye and debrand them for tv purposes. Now he gets them custom made.
I wear a Columbia Bahama II when I'm out in the sun -- so pretty much the same thing you've got. I've had good luck with it. On mine, it was the exterior that got a bit ratted up by my pack straps. The little holes in the Osprey mesh transferred to and abraded the shirt a bit. That said, it's still holding together. Keeps me from getting burnt and keeps the bugs off. Just had it on last week in the Bisti Badlands.
I think I picked it up off a bargain rack at Cabela's for next to nothing so at this point I've got my money's worth from it.
