Wool Bike Shorts

[Eden]

First time I've ever heard of Bellevue, WA being described as dry and hot
I found a couple of other sources

but I find my spandex shorts to be comfy enough, not overly hot,and I like bike shorts to be quite tight (they need to be able to keep my leg warmers up and not ride up at all) and I'm not sure wool could ever be like that - not to mention its easy to stretch/shrink it.

i wear Ibex wool knickers and they are great. I have never ridden in a hot dry climate though.
what we run into a lot is during a long ride, it will be in the 40's to start and then warm up throughout the day. Since knees are rather delicate
it's nice to keep them covered up during the colder hours so the knickers come in handy.

I have a pair of IBEX shorts which are very comfy for shorter rides, but I find that they get really hot for longer rides. There seems to be a lot of padding and it doesn't seem to breathe all that well. They were great with leg warmers when it was colder here in Washington.
