Since this is the topic - in cooler weather, a wool long sleeve tee with either a short or no sleeve tee on top. Then either a windbreaker or heavy wool shirt on top. Depends on the weather. Have a couple of old Filson shirts that are good for that. And even better, an old Bemidji Woolen Mills shirt-jac that is almost overkill until the temps are in the low 20's.
Legs - often MUSA pants with wool not so tights underneath. Sometimes a pair of knickers with tall wool ski socks. Have some Swobo knickers and they work. But have just about worn them out after two to three years. BTW, do have two Swobo jerseys, and one is way too short. Only works as a top layer now. Don't want to be mistaken for a plumber on the bike. And yeah David, a trip out there would be nice. Ain't happening anytime soon. Too many other irons in the fire right now.
