Exactly.
Its no better than synthetics when you're shifting. Perhaps worse. But its Nice to know you'll be a shed load warmer for it, if you stop. Sitting still in a wet synthetic base can get pretty miserable.
I too got caught in some rain yesterday. I had Skins compression stuff on from head to toe. Nice for recovery tempo riding. But shite at temperature regulating. It was cold.
