One of the problems I’ve run into with winter cycling is that, even though it’s incredibly cold out, I always break a sweat from the exertion of the riding. Generally, underneath all the bundled layers of winter clothing, I experience quite an unpleasant moist/clammy feeling almost all over my upper body.

One of the gifts I received at Christmas was a Merino wool undershirt, a garment that claims to wick moisture away from the body, while steel feeling dry to the touch even when it’s wet. Well, I can say for sure that this works! Riding is now a much more pleasant experience as I no longer feel this moisture, and I’m altogether much warmer.
