They're...I think they're asking the wrong question. They're acting as if the choice is between sweat-wicking or naked, because if you wear a cotton tee, it gets soaked with your sweat, and doesn't evaporate or cool you effectively at all. So I'm sticking with wicking.Noameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750637766017134621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12035008.post-1126847809845492632005-09-15T22:16:00.000-07:002005-09-15T22:16:00.000-07:00I can't see it being much of an issue if you have ...I can't see it being much of an issue if you have access to plenty of fluids and the temp.s are excessively high. I may have to take in more fluid as I go in order to avoid the soggy cotton tee. I usually set my runs up so that I run past my car or super secret water bottle hiding spot a regular basis anyway.

I don't sweat much when I run but when I'm done, I purge buckets of sweat.<BR/><BR/>BTW, welcome back.
