Uniqlo Men's Heattech Tights - Item Code 146075

Not my cind of brand. Ill stick to Craft. Swedish brand, and youl always find there gear 40-70% on discount if you look around here in scandinavia!
Rader pay 60$ for a bib short than 200-2500$
When a TourDeFrance team can use Craft, then its good anought for me:rolleyes:

I believe team Sky wears Rapha.

Good touring clothes!
When I first read the title, I put the emphasis on “good,” as in “nice” as one might wear to go to a nice restaurant, or a theater show, or maybe a cocktail party and not stand out. When my wife and I crossed the country on our honeymoon, we were self-supported, and mostly in rural America. We did stop in Jefferson City, MO on her birthday, and went to a nice restaurant. I think we did both carry a nice pair of slacks and sports shirts.

When we arrived in our new hometown of Boston the day before I was to start my professional job, I had to shop for new clothes and shoes to wear to work.

We haven’t toured in a long time since then, but in the meanwhile we learned social ballroom dancing, and that’s our main entertainment activity. So even if we were to go dancing at a casual place, like a bar, we both would like to have leather-soled shoes. However, were we to tour nowadays, we probably would go credit-card, or on an organized tour, and shoes would take up less space than a tent. :rolleyes:

You can be a minimalist in a temperate climate and carry little more than a rain jacket and an extra jersey. It's not impossible to wash what you're wearing during the day at a public restroom or hidden natural setting, put it on damp and wear it dry. If weather doesn't allow that, it's okay to skip a day.

If you're camping add what's needed for expected temperatures

For those cold and/or rainy days, my kit also includes rain trousers, light nylon trekking trousers, hat and gloves, wool socks, clear goggles.

I've taken to wearing a long sleeved nylon trekking shirt on tour for sun and bug protection, buttoned up for warmth or worn open for cooling. Easy to wash, quick to dry. I wear it over a wool jersey for extra warmth.

Team Sky used to wear Rapha. They wear Castelli now.

Goes better with the motors in their bikes.

Sagan just won Kernnen-Brussel-Kernnen wearing Craft:thumb:

And got paid to wear it.

And Rapha dont pay cyclist team? :innocent:

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/dz1p8p5avh2...4201.jpg?raw=1

1 pair cycling shorts (worn on my body)
1 pair regular shorts
1 pair of swimming trunks
3 synthetic t-shirts/singlets (one worn on my body)
1 pair of regular cotton underpants

All carried, along with toiletries and phone charger and earbuds, in an 8L drybag. That's all.

You tell me..

Phil Knight wouldnt root for any team not having bought, and so wearing Nike..
