Heavy sweaters, how do you cope? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I sweat a lot when I exercise. After an hour of running at medium intensity (~150bpm avg HR) in 20°C @ 50% humidity, I am literally drenched in sweat. I can wring my clothes and sweat will pour from it. It's difficult to find clothes that are comfortable to wear for my long trips.

I do wear these "sweat wicking" clothes, but it doesn't evaporate even remotely as fast as I sweat. Sweat is literally just absorbed by my so-called "sweat wicking" clothes like someone sprayed me with a water gun.

Do you have some brands to recommend? Or material? One of my biggest issues is that the wet fabric of my tights starts chafing in my groin area.

Most of what is use says adidas, puma, the outdoorsman or Columbia on them, and they all say 100% poly. For underwear I use Duluth trading’s armachillo boxer briefs, and I do not have a material list on those.
