I don't wear a kit because I am commuting and am not in a race. I never can understand people in full kits doing what I would classify as "putting around." In my mind it is like going to the playground to play touch football with helmet, shoulder pads, mouth piece, custom jersey. In a nut shell uncalled for. I try to dress for the occasion.
well put .... im in the same boat ... i can understand wearing a baselayer, thermal layer and shell jacket ... but the tights and all ... way too overkill for just commuting to work in my book ...but my commute is only 3 miles ... to each is own
