Yesterday evening's 10-mile ride home was warmer than normal, and more humid as well. It was 98 degrees with a heat index of 107.
I guess I could have gone shirtless. But trust me, no one wants that. There may not be any way to be "comfortable" in such conditions. I can say now from experience, however, that a lightweight wool t-shirt is far better than any shirt of cotton or polyester or nylon or combination thereof that I have used before in those circumstances. You get airflow and evaporative cooling. You avoid that clingy-clamminess. There are no truly nasty unnatural odors. I also wore wool boxers under RBW's Boosuckers and a pair of oh-I-wish-RBW-still-sold-these-I'd-buy-a-dozen-pair 80/20 wool/nylon striped sporty shortie socks under my canvas Keen Coronado's. Wool is great stuff. Counter-intuitive, perhaps. But yesterday I know was definitely a day for wearing wool.
