Best clothing to wear during active sports?

Check out some biking jerseys. Not only do they stay close to the body, wicks off any sweat, and keep you cool, but they also have three cool pockets in the back so you can keep some snacks, you cell phone, and a wallet in there too!
Just go to your local bike store, or a bike store in the closest large city, and they should have some bike Jerseys. Plus, they have all sorts of designs for them. Mine is a "Pick and Chew: Making scabs since back when" one. I'm known for Newton's First Law of "An object is in motion until acted upon by an outside force" (my definition of it anyhow)

Elgin,

Underarmor has a "heat gear" line of products that is probably up your alley.

If you want to rollerblade around without looking like you missed the exit for the Tour De France (or maybe you do... thats cool too ) look into finding a simple Coolmax, or other similarly branded Tshirt. Same thing as a regular Tshirt, except it breathes and wicks away sweat. Should also stay a lot drier than a cotton tee.

Memories, memories .

Quote from guy down in Texas at the Pie Company with southern accent- "Yeah, about 8 guys came in yesterday that looked like some Lance Wanna-Bes and ordered 2 Personal pies for the whole group"

The personal pies were small ones to. One slice was about half the size of a normal slice of pie.

Anyways, back to the topic. I love under armour shirts. Not all of them are for cool days. I have a few shirts that are light weight, cool, and wicks off the sweat. But they don't have the cool pockets that bike jerseys do .


Edit: Here's a pic of the Loose Under Armour Gear and the Tight Under Armour Gear. Both should keep you cool.

I wear underarmor for my running and biking stuff, as well as Martial Arts training in the gym, and the loose fit stuff is perfect for the summer. I only ear a tight fit T-shirt from them if I'm doing grappling.

But anyway, go for UnderArmor, their stuff is quite nice. You can look up some of their stuff in most places that carry football gear, as they're great for hot days.

Underarmor is good stuff. Helped during Lacrosse practice back in the day. I also sometimes just wore a tanktop. When I cycle, I wear either the padded bikeshort or swimming jammers (like extended speedos). They all breath pretty nicely. For jerseys I have my fair share of them, although I don't have the Team Discovery blue jersey, but I have the black lucky 13 road one. Sometimes if it's just too hot, I let my back tan.

What's nice about compression gear is that if you need to cool off a bit, you can just roll the sleeves up. But yeah, cycling apparel might be a bit much for blading, so under armor is probably the way to go. Woo for summer activites

I have some shorts for tennis that are like a mix between normal tennis shorts and basketball shorts. They are really nice. I think they are Nike. Those might help you out...

They make UnderArmour for summer, too.

Find those shorts to be uncomfortable? Try a Speedo! On second thought... I don't even want to think about that for a second time.
