Yeah, I mean, I'd look like a dork if I had something cheap that I wanted to try for a few rides, or something that I wear like once a year or something.
But once something proves that it's going to work I go looking for equipment that's both effective and looks average or stylish.
The only item I have trouble with the fashion aspect on is balaclava's...hard to find something that covers your face that doesn't risk you looking a bit like a bank robber. Their fashionability has gone up at least with more people winter biking.
