Yep, the length is the big thing with me. I have the hardest time finding enough length in shirts in general, so I'm going to keep my eyes open for more of the SW jerseys. I haven't had that experience with their shirts, though...the length of them seems more typical to me. I like the short sleeves, too...they're a flattering length and not too loose, not too tight.
Can you tell I have a hard time finding shirts that fit to my liking?Anyway, I'm a happy girl. Got back from a 32 mile ride this a.m...it's 80 already.

I'm still in wool socks! Even more so when it's hot, I'll get blisters if I wear anything else to run in.

I wear my wool Tekkos to run or walk in, even if it's 95 out.
Next week I am going to Little Lyford Pond Camp, about 60 miles north of Greenville, Maine. It will be in the forties at night, even if it's 75 in the day.
I will be taking my Shak(s), wool hiking socks, and maybe some wool base layers. Frankly, I can't wait.2015 Trek Silque SSL

DH wore a microweight SW top under his motorcycling jacket last week and felt it worked fine as a wicking shirt.
I've always felt that keeping cool at moto speeds is a whole different proposition, though - for that matter, keeping cool at bicycle speed is different from running IME.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Oooh, I need a couple more pairs of Teko socks. They're so much more comfortable than SW! I really want to love my wool Injinjis, but I'd rather have the Tekos under blistery conditions.
