delphene: I'm seeking your recommendations for any clothing that will keep me somewhat dryer during classes. At the moment I'm wearing Nike Dri Fit "dry fit technology" tanks/shorts/leggings which is meant to wick away the sweat, however, I'm still just as drenched at the end of the class if I was wearing normal tank tops/shorts/leggings.
Nike Dri Fit will LOOK better and not HANG on you when you sweat, but plain old cotton-polyester blend will keep you cooler and thereby reduce you sweating a little. I could bore you with why wet cotton is cooler, but only if you ask.
Dri Fit will wick away sweat only if it has a place to wick it away to. For winter outdoor running, for instance, you would wear something absorbant OVER your polypro to absorb the sweat and thereby keep you drier and warmer.
Dri Fit alone will noticeably drip more if you don't wear some cotton over it. (where else can the sweat go?).
If there ain't a puddle under your bike, or splotches of sweat around you in BS,BA,BC,BJ, you're doing something wrong.

Excuse me... May I motivate you?
