[QUOTE="FrankD, post: 1326361, member: 88282"] As suggested above, a synthetic base layer designed to move moisture from your skin is the best way to go. There's a bunch of materials engineered specifically for this. The cooling effect is caused by evaporation. With that in mind, I go with long sleeves, long johns, a headsweat beanie, coolmax neck gator and a good pair of wool hiking socks. Pretty much no uncovered skin. Everything fits snuggly to maximize contact with my skin. Sounds counter intuative, but it works. On really hot days, I wet it all down for more evaporation. I've felt "cold" on 110 degree rides. Granted, high humidity will limit how much evaporation you'll get. And you'll also get a bunch of second looks at fill-ups (hope you've been doing your core workouts). [/QUOTE]
