I've got a Dakine t shirt which I really like for summer riding. Has anyone seen anything similar. It feels a bit nicer to wear than polyester tops but dries quicker than cotton.
I think I have this x-alp shirt from Odlo: https://www.odlo.com/eu-en/p/x-alp-linencool-cycling-t-shirt-412052.html?variantColor=40420
It is bit baggy fit but it feels nice on those long summer rides on hills where pace varies but I am not going at at full speed. It does not dry as easily as good polyester top.
I think Fox still do some polycotton, I've got a few of theirs, pretty much my default riding top
I find poly cotton gets damp and is less cooling because the water retains heat. polyester wicks and dries, so cools better
I've got both but prefer the poly cotton when it's hot. So it would be nice to have one or two more.
The fox drirelease look ideal.
I’ve a Fox cotton/polyester blend T. Looks like a normal T, dries quickly, feels less like plastic than some riding tops. In hot weather it cools better than some 100% polyester ones which can feel warm due to no moisture retention.
Post update. I bought a Leatt gravity 2.0 from Sport pursuit. Not used in anger but the reviews were good and it feels great out of the bag.
