    I still get cold clammy sweat breasts in my ibex merino wool sport bra. It's not as bad as the patagonia sport bra version. But blech.

    Yeah they get soaked with sweat like any other bra. But so comfortable. I don't notice the wet until I get off the bike.

    ***Quick aside to the Hijack topic: alpaca ****
    I know that the secondary fibers are hollow - those are often the ones that you feel because they are straight, a larger diameter than the other fibers, and often do not spin into the yarn but rather pop out.

    The primary fibers tend to be very low in micron so very soft to the touch when spun.

    The industry is trying to breed out secondary fibers... in some cases it is working but in all alpaca you will find secondary fibers. We also try to skirt it out of the fleece before processing.

    Here's another good link:

    I can do five more miles.
