I was reminded this morning of the importance of wearing the proper gear for the proper temperature. It was dang cold this morning.

The ‘Commute by bike’ people have a great post on Poor Mans Winter Clothing. Most of their goods were scored at an Old Navy outlet. Which is fine.

Problem: Winter riding clothes can cost hundreds of dollars!
Challenge: Find the right combination of cheap clothes that work.

This fall, I prepared for winter by hitting a few sales, and looking for “cycling appropriate” clothing. My best success came from several items I picked up at an Old Navy outlet. They look good, they work good, the quality is good, and they were dirt cheap! I have 3 levels of layering I was able to satisfy from that one sale at Old Navy. I found other sales, and I’m sure other stores carry similar clothing with similar prices, but this is what worked for me.
