Haven't heard of UnderArmour though. Patagonia makes alot of nice Capilene stuff, I've used it for hiking and backpacking, except being Patagonia, it's fairly pricey. I typically buy whatever Coolmax closeouts show up on SierraTradingPost myself, but I know the hikers swear by anything Capilene. I have a bike jersey from Patagonia which I love.

Never heard of either one. I don't have any cycling specific clothes. I just use whatever I have that works.

Just generic synthetic longjohns that i pick up at closeout stores, thrifts, or hand me downs. When my grandfather passed I inherited two pair of white syth longjohn bottoms and tops from him, and they are what I use everyday. One pair one week, then they go in the wash, and the second pair comes out for the second week. Also have a pair of old sewn-up, patched-up brown synths that I could use as a backup. I like the white for visibility in the midrange temps when I don't need to cover them though. And I do have 1 nice pair of Patagonia Capilene that I only use for cold weather backpacking and camping. Just discovered a run in the pants though last time I took them out, how do I salvage those neatly? Ladies any help?
