Patrick: More an academic question than practical, since I don't ride for hours in temps just over 0F (we got down to 9*F the other morning, but I stayed in side), but I wonder: does the second layer, worn over fishnet, itself have to be wicking? I suppose a non-wicking synthetic would not do, as it would (despite the fishnet) still trap the moisture?
My question is not entirely idle, since I just realized I have an old Polartec pullover meant to be worn as a second layer... it's not quite fleece; has weird squares or half cubes as interior finish. Feels nice over cotton t shirt when inside and nice and dry. FWIW, my experience -- old, since I gave them up 15+ years ago -- with even good synthetics in cold is that they all felt clammy when you stopped and sweated; wool does not. But I wondered if fishnet would make a difference On Thursday, January 3, 2019 at 9:18:49 AM UTC-8, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > I’ve gotten a number of off list questions about boiled wool, so I thought I’d post a compilation of my responses here: https://thegrid.ai/withabandon/of-fishnet-long-johns-and-boiled-wool/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
