Thats you opinion, and it is the popular opinion. But I have found a combo of materials that works for me, and no i dont ride slow. And yes I do arrive at work not covered in sweat. I sweat going up hills in the summer, i sweat going up hills in the winter in the rain. Both cases the sweat clears, albeit slower in the winter since im wearing a jacket.
The only caveat ive found is that in temps around high 60's its too warm for any type jacket and the sweat builds faster than it can clear. 65 and below, i arrive at work without soaking wet clothes and I dont have to go thru that end of the day gross feeling of putting wet clothes back on for the ride home.
You can continue in your belief and put on wet clothes, I'll continue in my way
