Thanks. Oh well. My 2 Pearl Izumi summer jerseys stink as quickly as the others. Wool, OTOH, can go for 8 hours of riding without offending the nearby public (I sweat in winter, too). And yes, I do bathe daily -- my cotton shirts can go at least 2 full day wearings without being offensive.
Moving on: if anyone has recommendations for cycling-cut summer jerseys -- particularly, trim fit and rear pockets -- that don't stink even for the smelly bodied, I'd like to hear them.
