What to Wear on a Humid Ride?

[marni]

Tech absolutely. Although it may seem counterintuitive, I also wear a sleeveless wicking base layer and it actually does help keep me cooler.

I have a sleeveless Craft wicking underlayer that I absolute will not ride without in the spring summer and fall here in hot and humid Houston. Even when I am not sweating, it provides a layer between me and the slimy feeling jersey fabric. In this case, two layers are definitely better than one. I also have arm coolers that not only keep me cool by wicking away the sweat, but also protect my arms from sun heat.

In the late fall, winter and early spring, I will wear either the craft as an underlayer or if its a bit colder, I have a wool underlayer that I love.
