I saw the Nike and UnderArmour wicking shirts at Sports Authority and elsewhere but wasn't about to spend $20 - $25 for ONE tee shirt when I have a closet full of old tee shirts at home.

Then I found myself in an Old Navy store recently and saw their store-brand quick-dry shirts priced at $12 regularly but on sale for $8. I bought one and it is great. Tomorrow is payday for me and I'm going back to buy a few more.

Often I can literally wring sweat out of a cotton tee shirt when I get off my bike but this shirt stays quite dry on my body and what little bit of moisture it might retain when I take the shirt off dries very quickly. The Old Navy shirt is plenty long enough to tuck in and have it stay tucked in when leaning over on the bike. It is a bit baggy which might bother the skin-tight aero gang but I think it's fine, especially for the money!
