Or MEC / REI do plain colored long sleeve cycling tops, with no logos, - but some of us are getting too much midriff to look good in them | |

You say, "cotton T shirts work fine": do you mean short-sleeve, or long-sleeve? Are there long-sleeve T shirts? What does "proper synthetic" mean (and, is some kind of "improper synthetic" a possible substitute)? I would't mind changing shirts when I get off. I'll be going from a cycle to an air-conditioned, 8-hour office day, so I'm already expecting to change into jeans (I'm already changing gloves, shoes, and hat: pants and shirt, no big deal; also, +1 whales). | |
