It’s been in the 90’s with lots of humidity and I just bought a new Pearl Izumi (white) sleeveless jersey and I find bibs too hot so I’m using some Peral Izumi 3D chamois shorts. What shorts and jersey combination have you found to help fight the heat? Thanks.
A biddy of mine has a jersey like you describe–slso PI. He rides with a heart monitor and he now has a ‘bra strap’ marking. His wife said she wants to know exactly what he is doing out there.
the desoto bibs breathe really well. the suspenders are a wode open mesh. You might want to sew a littel larger peice of polartek or some other chamois in there, if the tri pad is too little or too thin. Or just put saddle cover on when you use them.
Wear white tops.
Shave your legs.
Seriously, I shaved my legs for the first time on Sunday. Today’s ride, I could feel how much cooler my legs were. It’s 38 degrees C out there this morning on my 85km ride, made quite a difference having smooth legs.
