Our poll last week to answer the question "
Do You Wear Cycling Clothing" had a great response and one of the common questions were what can I wear if I don't want to be caught dead outside in skin tight spandex? There are many clothing options out these days that aren't skin tight and do a great job of keeping you dry and comfortable but styling.
Technical Shirts :
Many people are familiar with the brand
Under Armour, or before that
Adidas and
Nike had a great following for "technical clothing." This was clothing that wicked away your sweat but breathed well. There are some technical shirts geared towards riding which have a lower cut back for when you bend over so you aren't exposing anything and built in basic pockets to hold a gel or key. Budget between $35 - 70 for a good wicking shirt. Be prepared that polyester is a key make up of these shirts and can trap stink.
A couple of my favorites include the
Aurora T (pictured right) from Pearl Izumi for around $35. Also, one that I plan on picking up for the fall is the
Sugoi Crossroads Henley. Perfect for fall riding, grocery trip hauling or mountain biking when it is chilly.
