Thanks for your replies folks! My research had told me that garments made out of modern wind /rain cheating composites cost enough to pull the economy out of recession! The wool tip is good! I checked out SuperRoubaix and this product looks very like a pair of "Skins" long tights my daughter, a physical trainer, bought me for xmas. Will they insulate effectively? I thought immediately that I will look like mutton dressed as lamb but their claim is they are breathable and light. I really don't care how I look. I need sun protection and temperature control and they pass muster on both accounts. The good thing is I've still got 18months to set up and an ocean of experience on these forums to draw on. Thanks again.
Happy New Year!
