I have three rancher t-shirts. I surprised you didn’t mention those. They are absolutely the bees knees. They’re loose fitting, comfortable, stylish and inexpensive. I commuted in cotton for three months before I got smart and purchased some synthetic shirts. You can get them on sale right now from jensonusa.com for 14 dollars each.

I have another great tip. If the designer knickers seem a little pricey a good alternative is to go to your local thrift store and buy 100% polyester or 100% wool slacks. Cut them off and hem them or just roll them up. Both will wick moisture and keep you dry way better than cotton.

I am impressed with the pricing on the Hoss products. Though, at $70 for a pair of man capris and the same for a shell jacket, what does that say about the bike (clothing) industry in the first place?

I’d be really interested in finding out about good, casual, wicking, and reflective bicycling shirts. I’m amazed that the vast majority of bicycling clothing has no reflective material at all and if any just a little piping. Best I’ve found so far is the ELVS t-shirts from Laek House but they’re cotton and I need something that will dry out more quickly while in my gym locker at work.

Please post any other good cycling shirts, especially reflective ones (or why there aren’t more in circulation)…

I’m skeptical about the comfort of the short or long sleeved polos in hot weather. How thin is the material (or rather how breathable is it?). Does its looseness affect the feel?

I commute in cotton unless it is really hot or really cold, so I’m used to being uncomfortable. I was just wondering whether making regular clothing with technical fabrics actually worked as well as using a combination of tech fabrics as well as technical design (fitted).

Chromes look better, but they’re also twice the price of those Ponderosa knickers!

I’m with Tim on the spandex liner — I bike in them, but I’d rather have them seperate.
