WoolWeenies Club

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I'm a Brooks Nightlife screaming yellow fan myself. You can get them from Terry. I've tried the Whisper vest and jacket and they just don't fit my body shape as well as the Nightlife stuff does. Same purpose, though- some wind and light rain protection and high traffic visibility.
I do like vests for biking- the arm ventilation keeps me from getting overheated, but my core/torso stays warmer. Also they are smaller than sleeved jackets if you have to stow them in your saddlebag.
In heavy rain all bets are off and you really need a true bike rain jacket of some sort. Maybe Gore? I have a Craft screaming yellow rain jacket from TE that I like. But keep in mind that when something is truly rainproof then it often does not breathe well, and it tends to get hot and stuffy in it if you're working hard.
Wool does have the advantage in light rain of keeping you warm and ventilated even if it gets damp. So sometimes in drizzle I'll wear my dense wool Ibex vest over my other wool items.

well i ordered the PI whisper late last night...we'll see. I tried to order the Brooks vest at Terry that night of the 50% off and just got so frustrated!

JUST got a box from Ibex...

BUt one of my fave pieces is the Icebreaker tank I got from Sierra TP...it's SO soft and fits so well. I ordered 2 of the same by mistake....but I think I'll keep 'em both!

I SO wanted to take a long ride today but it's RAINING..grrrrr
In Portland rain means RAIN...not drizzle or mist...

For those who have everything else in wool......... (you know you need a wool bikini or perhaps a set of wool sheets)

It's all in German, but you can get the idea about most of it pretty easily

(for those with sensitive work places, some of this stuff perhaps a bit R rated.....)

We went back to the store here for more Duofold. They had long sleeve crews that were not in the package marked $15 with 60% off. They were well worth $6 !!!! They seem to be perfect for our warm weather. Our days start out really cool but warm up considerably. They breathe enough that we don't get too hot.

I first saw the web site on the Graham Norton Show (its a British talk show - BBC America is part of our basic package lucky us) and he acutally convinced some of his audience members to model.... a man with one of the eyeless balaclavas and willy warmer and a woman with a wool bra/hose set

Hi Ladies! I figured if anyone could help me,it would be the wool weenies club. I did a search on wool bra, but it tossed out bra since it was too common, so I'm wondering if any of you know of a wool bra or have used one?

My issue is that I stink more than the normal person when I exercise (due to my medication), when we tour, I only use wool to reduce the stink factor, but I still have issues because my bra stinks so bad that it just doesn't matter if I have wool tops on.

Thanks for the help!!!
