I sweat profusely, even during a "polar vortex". I have no choice. I have to wear cycling gear for cycling and work gear for work. I get to work a little early, have a quick birdbath in the staff men's room sink, and change.
If you're going to try wicking t-shirts, keep in mind that wicking wear manufactures stink. You'll at least want a clean shirt (read: non-stink-producing) for work.
