Evan,

In the summer I often wear an old cycling shirt. They fit tight, some might 
say too tight, so they don't chaff under your arms, they breathe and they 
dry really quickly.  Some have extra long zippers in the front so you can 
pull then down to help stay cool while emulating the Elvis look.  Some 
zippers are metal and will stick if you don't rinse in fresh water.

The down side is, if you don't have a bunch from racing days gone by, they 
can be expensive to buy new.  I'd try REI or MEC up in Vancouver.
