Love it so much.

I've been thinking of posting a review if there's interest.

whats worse than back sweat is when you dont sweat at all when riding, but when you go inside, you start complaining that its hot and then you start sweating bricks. makes you look very nervous and sketchy, like you are about to rob a place.

i hate that

I would love to see somebody try to put antiperspirant all over their back and shoulder. Y'know, it just might work.

I get this every day when I ride to classes in those old campus buildings with no A/C whatsoever. As soon as that wind is gone it just comes out everywhere. I think it has to do with these mid-70's temperatures... then , of course, you get self conscious about it and sweat some more.

I have the Ortlieb Flight, and it's a suspended mesh. It's the best backpack I've found for minimizing the back sweat issue.

Me, too. Even when it's in the teens, I just wear a midweight Smartwool shirt and a lightweight shell for blocking the wind. And I still sweat! :eek: I just sweat easily and a lot. I've come to accept it and give myself 15-20 minutes to cool/dry off after I get to my destination and bring a spare shirt.

Ah, I see now. That makes this post marginally less ridiculous.

Get Botox injections in your back, it will kill your sweat glands, ergo, no more sweaty back!

I only wear cheap cotton undershirts when I ride a lot because sweat plus the dyes in my bag react to make the originally-white shirt red. I'm thinking of sewing a patch of black synthetic material on the back of my bag, perhaps stuffed with something that will help alleviate back-sweat. The shirt staining doesn't happen with any other colored shirt.

I get a strap mark more than I get a back mark. I dont really know how that's possible.

You just carry an extra pad so when you bleed through the first you can change, thats how the ladies do it.

You could also probably buy some depends, cut out the absorbent part, and use athletic tape to hold them in place on your back and shoulder.

Walking pace.
