I went to another LBS and found a guy that was SO amazingly helpful. He showed me the clothing and explained what everything was for and what works for Nebraska weather. He was honest after I tried on several sizes both in men's and women's jackets and said that it was okay that none of them fit. XL in Pearl Izumi women's doesn't fit me and neither did any of the men's. Dang wide hips..LOL. I'm so glad he didn't lie to make a sale.

I came home with Pearl Izumi arm and leg warmers that are really nice and gives me more options until I find what I want.

Now that I've tried on some things and have a better idea of what I like, shopping online will be easier.
