I feel safer buying when the model doesn't look like a starving giraffe.
    Actually, their model looks great. However, if you apply logic you can easily figure out what you need. There is a sizing chart which is very useful. As an example, I am 5'6, 114 pound, I buy Small in Assos. It fit perfectly.

    WOW! The number of replies has grown so much over night!! Thank you all so much for your sound advice

    So, there are some cyclists who have taken this idea elsewhere. I am not a real hard core cyclist yet. I am not sure at this point, how often I would be out there riding my bike in winter so before spending hundreds of dollars on those expensive winter clothes, I shall try the cheap trick. As Maxine said, I shall find my torelance this winter and go from there.

    annie - any particular brand (s) and / or type (s)?

    Thanks again!!
