Wear an undershirt like your grand dad did. That way when you sweat it doesn't show up on the heavier overshirt you are wearing, and you stay cool with your bodies own A/C, powered by all the water you drink during the day.

On the AC subject. Everyone has a comfort temp range, 79°(at low humidity) is when I like to have at least air moving around me if not AC. I have worked with guys that would be sweating bullets at 70° and hardly moving.

Plus, if you keep it you won't have to listen to your passengers gripe about how hot it is.
