I hated the shirt it felt like it didn't breath and that it was warmer than my usual t shirts. I recently bought a coolmax clone shirt and did an 11 mile race in it on a hot day and didn't notice it pro or con. Which in my mind was a good thing. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Jun 29 2000 - 13:07:16 PDT
