I knew it was going to be brutally hot riding home from work yesterday in my one piece 'stich, so, just before I left, I completely soaked my T-shirt with water and put my 'stich on over it. With all the vents wide-open, the evaporative cooling of my torso kept pretty much all of me utterly comfortable for the 52 mile ride. My shirt was almost dry when I got home. This trick turned what should have been a miserable ride into a great one. I've known about the trick for years, just never tried it. I don't think I'll be wearing my mesh gear much anymore...
Next time, I'll try it with a long sleeve shirt. My arms were noticeabley warmer (though, not uncomfortably so) than my torso, even though much of the cooling air was going up my sleeves. With wet sleeves, I bet my arms will be nice and cool too.
