evan9381 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Any suggestions? As it gets cooler out, cycling in the mornings at ~20mph when its 50-55 degrees out can be a bit chilly. Id like to find something light weight, but warm...ideally something i can shed, fold up small, and carry in my back jersey pocket for the rest of the day...that, or something i can wear all day thatll keep me warm, but not too hot once the sun gets up a little more. I have a long sleeve under armour type shirt that I wear under my jersey, but it's still just a little too light in the morning Anything like this exist? Suggestions?

Sturg1647545502 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 you're looking for a windbreaker; a lot of cycling and running apparel co's make them. I have a Pearl Izumi softshell that i wear in the same configuration youre talking about. take your pick http://www.pearlizumi.com/publish/content/pi_2010/us/en/index/products/men/ride/apparel/6.html the soft shell i have fits in the back of my jersey and folds up to a size smaller than a sandwich ziplock bag.

paktinat Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I wear a thin wool long sleeve jersey and a windbreaker down to about 45F. A wind breaker is key bike gear to have, even the cheap $30 pricepoint.com version. <--- year round bike commuter for many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Im gonna have to find something soon. ~36 degree start at 8am was rough. Jacket, and something over my ears...and some gloves w/ full fingers. My summer fingerless gloves did not cut it today. On a positive note, i think i realized everything i was missing for cold weather today. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brrcats Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not bicycling, but back when i was rowing we used to get these long sleeved shirts from a place called regatta sport. I have a handful of them still that I wear. Nice thing is that they are cut longer in the back so they stay tucked in while you are leaning forward. Ive got two different kinds, one is considerably thicker/warmer than the other, but just to give you a new place to look. http://www.regattasport.com/products/view/2640/c:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
