  Hi all,

  question about riding in the winter and winter clothing.  I recently
purchased some riding clothes and the local neighbourhood bike shop so I
can continue my cycling in the winter.  The long-sleeved shirt I bought
is made of 65% of some man-made substance or other, 25% cotton and 10%
wool.  However, I have noted that whenever I stop for a break, and while
sweating, after about 5 minutes I really start to freeze.  Seems my
sweat is indeed being absorbed by the shirt but the wetness of the shirt,
lying on my back starts giving me the chills, again after taking a break.
Is this normal?  Or, have I just bought a lousy shirt?  Is the material
at fault?  Any suggestions/thoughts are welcome.  Thanks in advance.

  Richard Brock
