Winter sweat - what's a girl to do?
What do you wear under your biking jacket or Jersey to absorb the sweat? My torso becomes a sweaty mess, then I freeze on the way home which is downhill from the park loop.
So I got the bottom half down - shoe covers and tights over the bike shorts seem to do the trick. Biking bamdana covers the ears, and I have a collection of various thicknesses of gloves.
On top I have a Peral Izumi Gavia biking jacket with a long sleved polyester running shirt underneath - not working:eek: . Fine when I leave the house, but too hot when I get going, then not warm enough on the downhill home.
What does everyone wear on top to stay not too sweaty but still warm enough?
what about sports bras - sweat/wicking?
Anyone with recommendations for sports bras? I've got patagonia capeline lightweight bras and they still get wet and that's what makes me cold once I stop pedalling. The sweat wicks off of the jersey no problem, but this wet layer stuck to my chest makes my core cold at a rest stop. Someone told me to try mesh sports bras - anyone know who makes these?
Very itch sensitive - will wool be OK?
Thanks - so much helpful info here! It sounds like I am overdressing for sure.
Wool sounds great, but it does make me itchy - I can't tolerate a cashmere sweater next to my skin - will the smartwool or ibex be itchy at all? I am OK with the smartwool sox.
Any of you sensitive to wool that wear the wool base layer?
Otherwise Craft synthetic sounds best - any specifics on Craft base layers?
Thanks so much!
