    And they are actually cooler than skin if you live in an arid environment (which I know Michigan is NOT, but I just thought I'd add that tidbit). Once they are wet, they do a fantastic job of keeping the evaporative cooling going. Way better than my bare arms! My cool wings weren't much good in the NC summer, but out here they are fantastic. I wear them gardening, too!

    V - have you tried the 2011 Tyr tri tops? I just bought the tank one (and tried on the sleeveless one) and both were quite long even on my long torso. Bending over to my toes, there was NO gap at all. You could do that and then add cool sleeves or cool wings or some other such item.
