I forgot to take a short-sleeved jersey to Devon for my latest trip down there. (I thought that I had left one at my sister's cottage.) I only took a lightweight long-sleeved jersey with me. That jersey was ok for rides on cool to warm days, but too much on the hotter days. I ended up doing those rides in a long-sleeved base layer with a lightweight gilet over the top. It turned out to be a very comfortable combination.

I only wear a base layer when I want to stay warm. Base layers to wick sweat is just a myth, putting another barrier in the way of sweat doesn't work.

Change my name to Quentin and become a librarian or perhaps 1950s vegetarian.
Currently all the rage with younger folk. I surprised that Accy hasn’t got several.

I was thinking a vegan called Jeremy who reclaims furniture and grows all your own veg*

No cap, I used my Alpaca sleeveless wool top as a midlayer for many years. It is a very sensible design even if it does givev out "ooh Betty" vibes.

You don’t want to wick sweat unless you want to stay warm. If sweat isn’t evaporating then it isn’t cooling you.

That is indeed part of the Myth, its claimed that a base layer wick sweat away from the body, so it can evaporate faster
