Thin Underlayer with bra for winter riding

[Duck on Wheels]

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as a wool sports bra. Claim is that it doesn't itch either. I plan on getting one next time I'm home (Norway), then I can tell you how it works. I've seen them at a little sports shop called ute.no (as in out.Norway). Otherwise, my cold weather excercise (trekking rather than biking in that season for me) inner layer has been a superlight, no-itch, wool longsleeve with sports bra under. I have a couple of different wool longsleeves. Any that itch wind up getting tossed. The nicest one serves as my cold weather May 17 undershirt (under the linen blouse and vest of a nat'l costume). They wick fine plus stay warm even if damp. Worst I've experienced was when the wicked-away moisture froze on the inside of my gore-tex jacket. From now on, top layer has to be cotton when it's really cold.
