Hopefully so

It was obviously said totally tongue in cheek but it does offer an alternative point of view and if a woman saw me in Lycra she's more likely to run for the hills and have nightmares so I tend to avoid being seen in public whenever possible .... I even bought a frame bag to put a "normal fitting" t-shirt in for when we go for beer at the end of a cycle

I think the funniest and most hypocrytical part on my behalf is .... I've done loads of sport to quite a high level for years but cycling was always a "fun" thing to do, go out and do a bit of sight seeing or cycle to the beach with a pick nick and I always thought the Lycra brigade were a bunch of people who underneath wanted to be wearing women's clothing (just an acronym of how bad I thought it looked) in public but believing that wasn't totally acceptable thought this was an acceptable alternative.

I've kind of been forced into wearing it because it works ... I wore normal t-shirts for a while and for the winter bought a decent quality Altura Evo jacket and sweated like a pig after 2 miles.

It wasn't until I bought proper Jersey's / wicking clothing and a decent cycle jacket (thanks to advice from people on this forum) how much better the temperature control was .... BUT .... I wish they made more t-shirts with the wicking properties and jackets that are windproof on the front but the rear parts breathable for temperature control in more "every day fit" styles as I still think if you walk into a pub for a beer wearing Lycra after a ride a lot of people think you look like a complete (couldn't find the censored emoji).

This is the jacket I bought and think it's absolutely brilliant

I get there is some MTB clothing available but that's mainly Jersey's ... it's the jacket that throughout the winter has made the biggest difference to me but out of choice I'd never wear it in public ... wish they made the exact same in a more comfort fit!!!

Slightly off topic but along the same lines .... I've always wondered why everything is so tight fit ... I'm guessing it's from the racing heritage / minimal wind resistance**********
