Another Texas rider, I do not wear a baselayer. My opinion is there is no clothing article ever designed that can wick away the Texas heat and humid. I’ve tried all sorts of clothes that claim cooling / evaporation in the heat. I am pretty sure they don’t test it in 85% humidity (during the summer it’s 85%, 70-75% dewpoint at 5am). I am wringing clothes out after running and biking during the summer. I am not a big guy either. I have been using the Rapha Flyweight and Castelli Climber jerseys. They seem to work better than others. I am going to give the Velocia a try now.
