I need to do some experimentation because in about a year my company will be moving to 26 miles away and no showers.

Check out the Stoic brand longsleeve 150 weight baselayer at backcountry: Stoic Merino 150 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's | Backcountry.com I have two of them. They're great. Stoic is BC's house brand. If you pay attention you can get them on sale for less than $35 with free shipping. Well worth it.

As for no showers, I have a pack of unscented baby wipes in my office that I use after I cool down.
