RE: [RC] [Guest] Long shirts for cool riding...what's best? - Steph TeeterHannah - I've ridden hundreds of miles in longsleeve cotton shirts - they're great in hot/dry climates, and when you get them wet they'll keep you very cool. There are also synthetic shirts on the market 'fishing shirts' - very light and breathable, with cape vents on the back. These are probably the best - most sport stores carry them. I know Columbia makes them (that's what I have). Lighter than cotton, and they also do a great job cooling you when you get them wet.

Hannah Petersen rosetta15@xxxxxxxxxxx Good afternoon~ Since this is one of the most informative places I know to look, I have a question that I would love some feedback on. I know that many people prefer to wear long sleeved men's button-up shirts on rides in the summer, to keep cool and to prevent sunburn (which happens only too easily on us fair skinned people!). I have another 50 in a couple of weeks that is going to be quite hot, and would like to buy a shirt to use. So my question is: for those of you that wear these shirts on rides, which type of shirt would you recommend? And where do you find them? Since it's a dry heat out here in CA, wetting the shirt down seems like the biggest plus to me, almost like built in air conditioning... :) Thank you all in advance, and hope you all are having the best of summers! thanks, Hannah =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
