Alrightyoh... Within 3-4 weeks the ground will slowly start thawing here and EVERYTHING will be snot slippery. Got some new mudslingers on the way, got last years shoes waiting for battle... But I need a really good "jacket" or whatever that let's me not sweat to death, not freeze to death, and not cost $200.
It would be nice if it worked in the rain as well this summer when it's a 103 and so humid you can feel the moisture enter and leave your lungs. I've read all kinds of good things about Race Face jackets and Helly Hansen, Adidas, but I don't know how well they actually work. And which ones won't stain as bad from the slime? Regular old jerseys work fine for the summer rains, but spring/fall here is always tricky.
Would also be nice to find something to practice in and not melt.
I'm doin the $30 sporting goods rain jacket right now...it'll soak a hoody in 5 minutes of pedaling no prob...
