Affordable winter cycling gear

Cycling gear is hell of expensive. Especially if you are into name brands like Pi, Assos, Santini, Craft, etc.

Here is a real cool outfit that uses the same high end technical fabrics like the big names but with some seriously lower prices.

Foxwear

The owner's name is Lou. And he will make stuff custom sized if you need it for no extra charge. You can also pick and chose what weight fabric (light, mid, heavy) you want, and where you want it(front/back and mix/match. I just love the customization options. And the choices of light,mid, heavy for the fabrics.

For example you can get a vest with mid weight windbloc on front and light weight mesh on the back, different colors for each


I got one of his Evap Lite Jackets



Under the arms is light mesh that allows air flow so you have constant ventilation. The front is 98% windproof power shield. The rear is light vented fabric. 470. Not bad compared to $150-$200 for the same exact fabric from name brand.

His prices on tights are incredible especially some of the technical ones with windfront panels


hats/skullcaps in 3 different choices of weights for $5

These go for like $15-$25 from another brand

Socks for $5 or heavyweight socks for $9

Balaclavas in differnt weights for $9

This same thing goes for like $20-30

Base layer power dry shirts for $25.

You can also get a bunch of decent base layer stuff at Walmart too.
