Did y'all click the link to the linen jumpsuit in the Riv email update

If it came in my large man size, I'd wear it! But for now, I'll stick to a
loose fitting cotton or synthetic long-sleeve button down and sunscreen on
my legs,
Yes, Leah I never have been a fan of slathering chemicals on my skin either;
then I heard last year that the typical sunscreen was getting absorbed into the
bloodstream! That seemed like it was probably not a good thing and just
reinforced my resolve not to use it.
Between the fact that I've
Really like this brand: https://www.exofficio.com/ I've traveled a good bit
throughout India with a few Exoffico shirts, super light weight, can
withstand prolonged wear in not-so friendly environments, super easy to
wash, and fast drying. The shirts pack down so tightly they take up like no

I think I'm going to try one of these capilene cool hoody things, hopefully
the hood will work under my helmet to provide neck protection. Has anyone
seen a merino equivalent?

Here in Australia, both my wife and myself wear Groundeffect long sleeve
summer tops when the weather gets hot. They're made from a lightweight
material that has an UPF of at least 50. The women's range of these tops is

Hi Leah, that is one sweet-looking Clementine!
Funny but I was thinking about the sun protection thing as I just retired
my first plaid MUSA seersucker as it's literally "holy" to the point where
my GF is embarrassed to see me in it
I actually really, really like these REI synthetic long
I believe it was Grant at Riv that got me on the seersucker material thing
(several years ago?). I was able to test the clothing material on a tour
my wife and I did last summer (ACA's CHI -> NYC route). It was of course
hot and humid and the shortsleeve seersucker shirts I wore were quite
Definitely a fan of loose, long sleeves here in hot n dry Sacramento, CA
area. Any of the 'sun shirts' marketed by the likes of REI do the trick for
me, but my favorite is a 50/50 number I got at the local thrift store for
$5. Been wearing that one for a few years now, cannot believe the
Agreed on the long sleeve Merino base layers. I prefer the long sleeves to
wearing more sunscreen, and prefer them on the slightly loose side. Wool won't
stink, but it can build up a noticeable white salt layer on extended rides in
extreme heat--evidence that the wicking works. Lightweight
Oh yes I do love my Glacier Gloves too Roberta ! Sun Sleeves and/or arm
warmers/coolers are very versatile as they can be worn with any short
sleeve shirt. You'll stay cooler with your arms/body covered than not. The
fabric itself really isn't all that important. Everyone is drawn to what

For hot weather touring my clothing is pretty dialed in, simple, and
inexpensive. Loose, knee length synthetic hiking shorts, preferably
gusseted so the seam isn't up the middle, with a padded cycling liner
underneath. Get a liner that can be worn alone if you want - I like the one
from REI. I
Hi Leah,
I'm in Sacramento where we have a similar hot and dry conditions, though a
little cooler than Vegas, I think.
My recommendation is to get the lightest weight, 100% merino wool, long
sleeve base layer or t-shirt you can find. 150 weight or lower, not 250.
Get a good one that is

Here you go Leah. Some good examples. I've worn Railrider stuff. Pretty
good and some are "caped."
