Jacket update
After taking into consideration the comments on the Pearl Izumi (Zephyrr)
and Performance Illuminite jackets I mentioned, I did some serious on-line price shopping before making a decision. Before pulling the trigger, I decided to give the LBS a shot, although I had doubts regarding their ability to match the on-line catalog prices. I was quite surprised at one store (Sunset Cyclery - St. Louis) and their wide range of jackets. They had numerous Pearl Izumi jackets, and competitively priced. However, as I posted before, I am really surprised at the lack of reflective piping on their jackets - especially on the back. I plinked down 86 bills for a Cannondale Morphis Jacket. Plenty of reflective piping and as a plus, the sleeves zip off and it turns into a vest. It also appears to have plenty of venting, and is water resistance to boot. I have made a New Years pledge to start using the LBG more often! Kerry |

Plenty of reflective piping I'll have to look into Pearl Izumi jackets then, because I buy bike clothing that specifically doesn't have reflective piping because I don't like looking like a neon sign when I'm not on the bike. Nashbar reflective leg bands are what I use and I store them right on the bike so that they are always available when I ride. Reflective ankles are more noticeable, due to their constant movement, than reflective piping on a jacket. -- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ O ALERT: Please help a friend find ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ / / an abducted family member: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ // http://www.haveyouseenskye.com ŻŻŻŻŻŻ İ"""""""""""İ Thanks. |
