How can I get less clammy on bike rides?

drink lots of water.

If you are sweating you’re going to get clammy right? How can you avoid it? Maybe bring a couple of extra undergarments?

I wear a hat underneath my helmet when it’s cold. I don’t know if you’re already doing that, though.

Give up on the synthetic fibers and get some marino wool base layers (Smartwool, or IceBreaker make some good stuff). It can be a bit expensive but wool will keep you feeling warmer when wet and also it don’t smell as bad as polypropylene.

oh yeah—should have also said that I wear wool….. I have wool arm warmers but maybe I should get a wool jersey too…..... good idea!

Man all this wool I keep hearing about. I can’t stand anything but cotton ahhh…and synthetic-UGhh!

@SeventhSense trust me, once you’ve tried a super fine Marino wool T you won’t look back.

I’ll have to check it out…but then again I have a merino wool sweater, it’s soft but the hairs of animal fibers are present even if fine. I wouldn’t want to sweat in it.

I always wondered about sheep. Don’t they get itchy?

Why wouldn’t you want to sweat in merino wool? Merino wool isn’t itchy.

@Lightlyseared
Nothing but cotton for me.
