I'm not sure why people are so scared to sweat.... it keeps your ass cool.
Nothing is better than being sweaty and stopping at a light and letting it run down you, then take off and let the wind run through it. That's staying cool.
The point of cycling clothes is not to prevent sweating, but rather to help the sweat evaporate as quickly as possible. Of course you still need to shower after you ride, but you're much more comfortable while riding. Cool and dry.
If you want to be soaked, maybe you should be showering instead of cycling?
