Does that factor in (the admittedly small effect of) humidity to the density calculation, or are you just using pressure and temp?

As air density decreases with increasing humidity, ideal conditions would be warm, low pressure and high humidity...

Following on from that, would riding in a wet skinsuit when it is warm and dry reduce the air density around the rider?.....

There's a bit in Hutch's book Faster about how Boardman found the skinsuit fabric tested faster when it was wet.

Wasn't it his wife that mentioned they'd not tested it wet and "you're going to be sweating a bit" or something like that. I remember them spraying it with alcohol before his Hour but I that's for pre-cooling and will evaporate.
