Clothing question

[Trek420]

Shadon, welcome to the club. I'm a big fan of vests and arm skins instead of a jacket. What i usually wear is a bright-green-don't-hit-me vest commuting, I have one by Pearl Izumi and 2 by Voler. I like the Voler better, wind proof front, better venting in the rear. Then I use arm skins for the sleeves, sooooo flexible, up when it's cold, down when I warm up, off into the back pocket, back on again...I can be entertained for hours like that. Also lighter.


another good option is Illuminite for visibility...

I have 2 rain jackets but that's another thread ;-)

And Shadon, don't be shy now, forget the "for those of us who are riding to loose weight" bit, you're doing the AIDS ride next June, you rock grrl.

I just did my second ride. The 20-25 lbs I lost in training don't even matter, just a happy byroduct of the experience.
