They keep me warm enough and allow enough breathing that cuts down on the moisture buildup. However if you're looking for something for the rain that is a different matter.
Thanks for that idea... I like it. It is time to begin thinking about these things again, isn't it? Probably did the last long ride of the year today here- an early morning start that made dressing tricky.
