    I buy almost all Terry brand cycling clothes, although I have my favorite Shebeest shorts and am patiently waiting for them to reappear next year. I can't wear their jerseys, though.
    I also love Voler jerseys and I have a pair of Sugoi shorts that are OK, too. I have Sugoi tights, as well as a wind jacket. My base layers are from Craft and I also have a couple of Smart Wool ones that i wear x country skiing, too. I need to wear things that are made for small women, and some companies don't even make x-smalls. My arm warmers, knee warmers and leg warmers are all women specific, all different brands (Sheila Moon, Sugoi, Shebeest).
    I can't wear LG, as they are made for tall people. I once tried on jerseys at their outlet in NH and they came down to my knees. Gore chamois is painful for me, although I do have a Gore winter jacket I bought off of someone on TE.

    I really like PI, Cannondale, Gore and Giordana. The one company that's consistently failed in terms of quality is Castelli. I've had such bad luck that I won't buy them anymore. In terms of high end stuff, I like Capo and Asoss, when it's on sale. I wear bibs and my favorite are Pearl Izumi's Drop Tails. I've washed them a million times and they still look/fit like they did the day I bought them.

    I second Crankin's endorsement of Terry cycling clothing. Terry products are well made of quality materials and are shaped for real women rather than 20 year old professional racers, (not that there's anything wrong with young pro racers but I certainly can't fit into their clothes)

    My favorite Terry products for summer are the Bella shorts, Breakaway jerseys, and Sun Goddess jerseys.

    I like Primal Wear for jerseys. Nice deep pockets. I also like SmartWool for cool-to-cold-weather under layers. Shorts...I have Sugoi, Castelli and Primal Wear shorts. I don't like the Castelli chamois, and they haven't held up well for how much they cost. My Sugoi shorts are three years old and are awesome. I can't tell how well the Primal shorts will hold up because I've only had them for a few months. Slippery fabric, but the chamois is good for long rides.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
