    speaking of those white and black shorts; on the recent Seattle to Portland ride i know of 3 different people who got heat rash right at the end of their shorts; their BLACK shorts. There was about a 3-4 hour of very hot sun at midday
    and they really got burned!

    Well, I'm cycling in the sweltering heat (high 90's) and I absolutely love Pearl Izumi Select jersey with the Ultra Sensor fabric. I have yet to find a better wicking fabric than this. And I also bought the Short Attack short made with the same fabric.

    What keeps me suprisingly cool is sunscreen. I use the Bullfrog Marathon Mist with 36 spf spray and it really does keep me cooler. Don't know why but it works.

    The Assos white cycling shorts are really cool looking. Have you tried any of their shorts? How's the chamois?

    My other favorite! The Sugoi jersey I mentioned is better in my opinion, but this one is a good wicking jersey.

    I agree you should go down a size if you want a slim fit. I bought a large and was glad to see they were running big, because I've put on weight that is showing up in more thickness through my back, bust and waist. But, when I get back to my more normal size, there will be other large jerseys that still fit well, and this one will be too big, eventually.

    I will say, though, that even though this one is running large, the armholes still provided enough coverage and so forth. There are no big gaping parts. It is still cut well over all. The extra roominess seems to be just sort of all over, not really sloppy over-sized anywhere in particular.
