cyoungesq Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Just got this in and think it's great for those long cold rides. Works as a layer over the cotton/merino wool thermal top and under a jacket/armor. U wont need anything else except maybe a T-Shirt over it if you don't want the "Iron Man" look. Waterproof, windproof and like wearing a sealskin shirt. Totally kills the chills. http://www.coloradokayak.com/NRS-Mystery-S...Mens-Longsleeve Quote
Toynut Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I am not sure you won't get hypothermia from excessive sweating while wearing this garment. It does not appear to breath at all. Quote
cyoungesq Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 I am not sure you won't get hypothermia from excessive sweating while wearing this garment. It does not appear to breath at all. I tested it on a 1200 mile ride and it did fairly well. It is a bit like a wet-suit layer, except that it does have a fabric lining. Snug around the neck and wrists. Awesomely waterproof, and with a thin thermal layer underneath, it retained heat and did not cause sweating. Without the thin thermal layer underneath, I think that you are right ... it would not be able to wick away body moisture. It is a pretty nice wind and waterproof layer & was very comfortable in the colder fall New England. Down South, I took it off as it was 70+ F Quote
