https://pinebury.us/collections/merino-wool-cycling-shorts Too expensive and I don’t want bibs, but there you are. I have liked marino wool t-shirts in the warmer weather. Last year I bough a couple of short sleeve wool polo shirts, to get the collar and a nicer look, from SmartWool (50/50 wool/cotton) and Minus33 (84/12/4 wool/nylon/spandex). The Minus33 shirt is perfect - super lightweight, and a light gray color that doesn’t warm up in the sun. I wore it on the hottest day of my Natchez Trace ride and loved it. Unfortunately, the only other color they offer is black. I look good in black (highlights my gray hair nicely :-) but it’s not ideal on a sunny hot day.
