I believe the type of person also makes a difference. On the classic note of wearing wool. I did a ride this summer in Sewickley, Pa. It was a terribly humid day where the temperatures went into the 90s. I was covered with perspiration from head to toe from the heat and Larry Osburn was wearing a long sleeve monkey ass orange woolie. I believe he might even have had on wool longer legs also...not a drop of sweat. Now it might be the person also, I believe sometimes you have to check for a pulse with Larry or hold a mirror under his nose. Also, doesn't the newer wool wear quite differently now, Alex? I have heard the newere Merino wools with the pattern and tightness of the threads can make quite a difference as to getting overheated. Maybe one of the experts can answer this question.
