Just thought I would let everyone know that I found some excellent deals on gear for winter cycling at target. If you go to the Men's section with all the athletic stuff, champion makes some cheap poly thermal underwear that make a great base layer (12$). In my area they also had some great stretch-poly pullovers that are brushed on the inside for extra warmth (16.99$). The best deal I found was on a great wind breaker for the final outside layer that was 19$ and best of all, soft-shells with nylon front and polr fleece lined inside that zips half way down. I ended spending about 140$ and have enough to have about 2-3 full outfits (minus thermal tights that I will wear and all the little cycling specific gear...ie shoe covers, lobster gloves, etc). I have no affiliation or anything, just wanted people to know to check it out. If you are a broke college student (like me) or just dont see the sense in spending more when you can get the same quality for less (like me) then go check it out.
