Garth: That's a very interesting discovery; I'll have to try the old Polartec pullover this way, just to see how it does. I have to admit though that when I first read your description, my skin crawled; I have ickey memories of clammy synthetics in cold weather exercise. But the experiment will cost nothing but a little, possible, discomfort.
But I do plan to seek out a cheap synthetic mesh top, ss, to try under a cotton street shirt for winter riding -- mesh, shirt, perhaps light wool pullover, and then shell.
