List Your Favorite Bike Apparel

I've been really happy with PI Gavia gloves - bought them last year and have been wearing them on and off the bike.

Shorts - Shebeest SSS; the old Elite D
Shoes - +1 on the Sidis. Love them

I don't believe there is such a thing a breathable shell where you won't sweat to death when you're riding.

I have a couple of tops with Windblocker in the front. One from Ground Effect and the rest of it is wool. One from Patagonia and the rest of it is fleece. I like these a lot because they do keep my core warm, but the wool and fleece allow my sweat to dissipate as I ride.

1. smart wool oversized lightweight hat. Covers my ears, is not bulky under a helmet
2. ibex long sleeved teeshirt wool, light, warm, soft
3 terry shorts fit very nicely
4 showers pass raincoat keeps me warm and dry
5 Sidi MTB shoes. my "expensive red leather shoes" great fit
6 kneesocks - smart wool, lots of colors. wearing kneesocks with knickers is my favorite get up for cool seattle weather. if i get hot, i can roll the socks down.
I wish there were more knickers that are priced reasonably etc... the only wool ones i have are the ibex; i'd love to have tweed or something.

Sidi winter boots - (though I'm sure another brand would be great too) - love, love, love having dry warm feet throughout a PNW winter.

wool glove liners - I've yet to find a pair of gloves that is warm enough or dry enough, but having wool liners at least makes it bearable.

Canari for us little folks - they are probably the only manufacturer that makes things small enough to really fit me properly.

Sidi shoes- fit well, last forever.
Terry Bella shorts- they fit me well, and the chamois is thin enough to keep my parts happy.
Pearl Izumi Optik ultralight vest- this thing blocks so much wind, but scrunches up really small. I wish they were still making the women's version.

Keen sandals. No explanation needed.
Smartwool socks, any kind. Again, no 'splainin needed.

I love my Keen commuter sandals too

For winter riding, I LOVE my Sugoi Speedster 2 as a midweight base layer. It has an attached hood that fits like a balaclava and hole in the hood for your ponytail. It's all fleecy on the inside and is so warm and cozy off the bike too.

I've been really happy with PI Gavia gloves - bought them last year and have been wearing them on and off the bike.

Ditto - my PI Gavia gloves are my favorite (I bought the men's small for a wider, shorter fingered version) and they rock with wool glove liners underneath for non-athletic pursuits.

I really vary my favorites depending on the conditions I'm riding in. I do find myself grabing my smartwool super light weight zip neck top quite a bit. It's just perfect for so many different conditions (due to it's weight, it's breatheability and it's woolness). I just bought a second one in a different color.
