I wear wool year round, and while not as humid, it gets into the 100s pretty regularly in the summer. Spending the week at the beach and while riding a couple days ago wore a cotton t-shirt and about froze coming down off the mountain down into the coastal marine layer I thought I could get away with it yesterday, what a mistake! . Don't have that problem with wool as it always regulates perfectly!
