I have smart wool products and liked them initially, but have since found them to tear a bit too easily and I'm generally very gentle with wool garments. I love their socks though wear em all the time in any weather.
I like the Ibex garments but I think they're extremely expensive...I have two short sleeve shirts, arm and leg warmers. What I've found is I don't like wool bike specific clothing, I can't stand rear pockets to stash things that's why I have racks and bags for goodness sake. I love the MUSA SS t-shirts that Rivendell sells great price and quality, they work well either as a base or by them selves well above 80 degrees. Planning on picking up a wooly warm tweed sweater real soon. Disclaimer: Since I live in the land of the furnace I have come to accept that wool only suits very narrow times here in SoCal so the others obviously will have better feed back on temps below 40 degrees. Now if ya want to talk about hot weather clothing!! ~Hugh "parched" Smitham On Friday, January 24, 2014 12:39:49 PM UTC-8, Mike Schiller wrote: > > The Icebreaker clothing is made in China, so no surprise it's offered at > big discounts.
