stay warm stay dry stay home... http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/clothing.html Here in the USGPNW post Autumnal Equinox I'm into: Duofold T base top Ibex wool shorts DeFeet wool knee warmers Wool socks (forgot what brand) Shimano MTB shoes DeMarchi long-sleeved wool jersey Neoprene booties or toe covers if raining Full-finger gloves (Afternoons may go with half-finger gloves and may get by without knee warmers - might even use short sleeved jersey but that means I have to haul it along or... some mornings I can get by with the short sleeved synthetic jersey plus wool arm warmers instead of the wool jersey, which is really kind of a light sweater.) Later in the season will add wool arm warmers under the outer jersey, full length leg warmers (if not raining), booties even if not raining, Descent headband ear cover, *heavier* full- finger or even lobster mitt gloves - may go for heavier wool sweater and thermal bib on the bitterest cold mornings. I really like the DeFeet wool "kneekers" and arm warmers 'cause they're so modular. You can even adjust them to cool without taking them off. I've got a rain jacket but getting the internal thermostat calibrated is tricky. Climbing especially in the rain jacket just gets me soaking wet anyway. I really want to try a new glove combo of deerskin shell and wool liner. |

WOOLWOOLWOOLWOLL A nice fringe benefit: I can hang the sweater / jersey after sweating in it and wear it again. The synthetics need washed every single day. a return from last ear....unsold old stock or ? Mostly Nashbar closeouts. The heavy wool sweater is my favorite piece of clothing. Imbued with magic properties. http://www.coloradocyclist.com/product/item/ASSXMNEE Sweet! (the white looks nice, too). Bike Commute Challenge was giving away donated Showers Pass jackets this year; but do they award one to the guy who rode 1100+ miles for the challenge, and rides year-round? No. prob a wee bit damper than muh Redledge at $45 your jacket... It's a Performance Bike thing. The waterproofing is shot, but it still helps (actually might breathe better this way), and can keep me ~dry on top if I don't get too sweaty. It's a good shell against the cold off the bike, too. the back sort an overhang with vented area under lika fishing shirt ? No vent in back... well, there is a zippered mesh pocket, but my messenger bag would cover it anyway. maybe cut some vents under the arms lika big slash.... It's got really huge zippered pit vents - always open - its saving grace. ad a strip of nylon inside to scupper. good thinking... |
