Now is the time that the Dallas/FortWorth area starts its string of 100+ degree "daze". As well as the aforementioned items, I buy these bamboo towels from Performance Bike Shop. "coin towels" I get about one month from each one before retiring. If you lose one, no great loss and biodegradable. Otherwise, they are great for a field towel. They really help. Wipe the sweat from the eyes at stop lights, etc.
