Financial Aid checks are getting mailed out this week, and I'm spending every spare cent on cycling. To continue riding for most of the winter, I'd like some advice on a windbreaker. Here's what I'm looking at for layers:
Performance Polypro Crew by Duofold (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?sku=17441)
Terramar Merino Men’s Wool Crew (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?sku=17473)
I can add a thick wool sweater if it's crazy cold.
I probably won't be out much below 20, since I seem to have a problem with my brakes freezing up. I'd like to stay below $100 on the jacket, and I'd prefer something with underarm zippered vents so I can cool off if need be. I like softshell stuff the best. Has anyone ridden in Mountain Hardware softshell jackets? They're a bit more than I'd like to spend, but so sexy-looking - I just don't know how well they work for cycling.
