[/quote]I have started fully covering my upper body when I ride or run. DeSoto's arm coolers and bike jersey really do seem to keep you cooler when you are moving. I have to resist the urge to pull off the sleeves when I stop.
For running I've been wearing some long sleeve tops that I got from Athleta. I did an afternoon run while in Glacier, about 85 degrees and humidity so low my mouth was completely dry after 1/2 a mile. The top worked great! Okay, so I practically lived in them for the last two weeks, hiking at Glacier and whitewater rafting Hell's Canyon.

They have some nice shorts too. I had to replace most of my summer wardrobe this year and pretty much everything I got came from Athleta.

Veronica,
I am in the market for some new shorts, how is the chamois? I do like by Terry Bella's. However, my newer pair are slightly shorter than my older pair, both in the rise and the leg. I like a 8 1/2 inseam.Sky King

Sorry, I didn't get bike shorts - regular shorts.
I'm not a good one to ask about chamois. For me, less is better, I love my Orca tri shorts.
