i've been looking some some thin, wicking, cooling bib shorts to ride in 95F + heat.
any recommendations? I have a pair of de marchi contour plus bib shorts and while it is great, the material is a bit thick.
Thanks.

Castelli just came out with a pair of bib shorts that have vented panels on the sides. They recommend sunscreen on the legs to prevent sunburn patterns all the way up the side of the thigh.

They certainly look like they'd keep you cool...

Here they are, called the Inferno bib short. Certainly looks like you get some breathability into that panel...

There is no way to stay cool on a 95 degree day.

I find my Rapha Classic shorts to be the best in any weather conditions. Riding Castelli Aero Race team issue most of the time for comparison.

OK -- will check them out. The reviewers sure do love them online.
Thanks!
