You're probably the only one....but note that all those wicking fabrics lose their wicking ability if you dry them with a dryer sheet (Bounce, etc.). The stuff in the dryer sheet clogs the channels that are meant to wick away the sweat. After that, they'll not be able to do their job. I've heard that washing/drying them 3-4 times without a dryer sheet mostly reverses the effect. I wash mine in a special sport wash from REI that is meant for wicking tech fabrics (also bought it from Amazon a few times).

Also, if you're wearing a plain polyester (or even cotton) outer-shirt over the wicking shirt, you've defeated the purpose. The wicking shirt needs an outer later that also wicks or is open enough (mesh) so the sweat can evaporate.
