So apparently y'all have decent bikes for cheap over there, cheap dyno hubs and all that stuff, but then really expensive apparel? Unless this Assos stuff is much cheaper in Europe than it is in USA. $150 for a base layer? That's kind of ridiculous.

Where do you find wool in various thicknesses? I'd be interested in some thin stuff for summer if it really works that well at combating odor.
