My co-rider and I have mostly matching gear but this is down to the fact that some of our riding gear is sponsored. However- Stuart went out and bought a waterproof riding top in a sale and it worked- As soon as he could- he went back and bought the identical top for me. Then again I bought a top in a sale that fitted me perfectly so I bought one for him in a large size. Doesn't always workout though as I got a long sleeved top in roubaix material and this is fantastic for the chillier mornings or night rides. The one I got for him he found uncomfortable so he took it back but had to get a different manufacturer for his fit. Did manage to get the same colour but he agrees that these Roubaix tops are fantastic.
On a ride last year it was commented on the matching gear. One rider behind us thought his glasses needed changing as we kept getting a bit blurred. (He thought he was following a solo). Then he made the remark that he bets we have matching underpants. The reply of "What underpants" got him worried.
