Thanks ladies. I am leaning towards sending them back. At $44, if they don't work out, that's a kinda pricey mistake, for me at least.

Thanks for the welcome to WA, AppleTree. It's definitely hot here, but with the low humidity, as long as we get going in the morning and back before noon, we've been fine so far. However, tomorrow there's a heat advisory starting at 11 am, so I'll probably do a shorter ride. High is supposed to be 106-107 (!!) though it won't reach that until sometme in the afternoon. It's 100-101 right now, and we're inside, of course, but our morning ride to the farmer's market was fine. It doesn't feel nearly as hot here in the mornings as it did in NC with the high humidity/dewpoint there.
