Re: [RBW] Rayon for Riding?
Patrick, no rain in central Indiana, but it was a delightful 78 degrees, with 69% humidity on my morning commute. It was a seersucker (not that it helped much) morning.

Our humidity just broke, has dropped to 58%... Not daily, but, not uncommon to have 100% humidity days here... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Rayon for Riding?
Purely by accident I happened to wear a rayon ss shirt for about 23 miles of riding over two days, this after wearing it fresh on Sunday, wearing it again on Wednesday, sleeping in it Wed evening (yes, I know) and wearing it just now to ride home, all this in very humid, for us, 35% humidity -- ie, I sweated a lot. I won't guarantee the shirt's cleanliness in any absolute way, but I did notice that it did not stink at all -- rather like wool in that regard; and that it was no more icky for hot, humid riding than any other woven material -- if anything, thanks to its softer hand, it seemed to absorb better than, say, seersucker. Has any of y'all ridden much in 100 puh sent rayon? How did you like it? Patrick rayon today, too, but a clean one Moore -- When in Rome, do as they done in Milledgeville.

[RBW] Rayon for Riding?
There's a reason why rayon became the fabric-of-choice for Hawaiian shirts... :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Rayon for Riding?
I often wear Aloha shirts (as we call them here) while riding. I also live in Hawaii which makes it somewhat less conspicuous. They are bright, loose fitting, dry quickly after a rain shower and pretty much perfect for any occasion in the islands (weddings, funerals, parties, you name it). Indeed, with a comfortable pair of shorts, sandals, and a decent Aloha shirt you are both ready to ride and well dressed. I have to wear long pants at work, though that's about the extent of my dress code. I'll wear an Aloha shirt and convertible pants. When I get to work, I zip on the leggings... *voilà!* Aloha!

Re: [RBW] Rayon for Riding?
Patrick, My experience is that hot weather clothing is even more personal than cold weather gear. I have ridden in rayon Aloha shirts, but in Indiana, when it gets really hot and humid I have to have my puckerwear shirts (Patagonia's seersucker). It is important to note that your high humidity would normally be pleasantly low around here. Bob On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 6:40 PM, Robert F.
