Oh, the Full Zip...by far.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

The full zip and half zip shaks are exactly the same material. If one is softer or more stretched out it's just because it's older or has been washed differently, etc. Another possibility is that you wear the full zip OVER more other stuff, so it stretches more than the half zip which you might wear by itself or over only a thin base layer.

And yes I prefer my full zip shaks a bit more because they are so versatile. Wear them alone like a pullover, or wear them over stuff like a cardigan.

well that's good news, Lisa.....cause the more I wear my FZ, the more I like it!
If the HZ breaks in as nicely...it too will be a good friend....

They are painting the frame right now. I'll likely be getting the completed bike in about 3-5 more weeks I think.
I picked a beeswax/honey color for the bike, and will have the cork tape and honey brooks saddle. The bike will have a lot of black components on it as well....black rims, hoods, etc. There will be a little honey bee on the top tube.

Lisa, do you know the song by Van Morrison "She's as sweet at Tupelo honey"? That bike sounds sweet. 3 - 5 more weeks!!! That's soon!!!

Hey guys, I am considering one or both of these (trying to get outfitted now for next winter while its fresh in my mind):
smartwool headliner:

smartwool headband:
http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=10364

sheilamoon headband:
http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=22478

For any of you that have these pieces, I am wondering what temp. range they are usable in without being too hot or cold. I know that varies with the user, but in general, I worry about overheating in a hat, but maybe not if its wool.......

I prefer the smarwool headband to the sheila moon in terms of actual wool content, but I worry it may not cover my ears as it doesn't have ear flaps.

Currently I use a PI microsensor headband, combined with a helmet cover when its really cold, so you could relate these pieces to those if you have both. Maybe I am fine, and just going wool crazy...........

the first two are the same link.
I just got one used ( I guess it's called a headliner). It is nice and light. If you are in really cold weather you're going to want something else. OR do as I have done, use it in concert with another hat.
I have this castelli skull cap which does NOT cover my ears. Wearing both at the same time, i'm cozy and warm (at least my head/ears are)

How about the Zephyr skull cap from Ibex. I just got one for $15 on sale. It has ear flaps and covers the ears very well. It's a tighter knit than the Smartwool headliner but still thin for easy fit under a helmet. I haven't biked in it yet, but it should work out well for 30-45 degrees, lower if you combine it with a helmet cover (but then I'd switch to a balaclava anyway to cover my chin).
