Windproof Fleece
Just thought I'd let everyone know about a good deal. I found Windproof fleece at Target. Top and bottoms costing 29.95 ea. I road 6 miles with them on Friday. Conditions were 32 Degrees, 8 mph wind, light snow/rain. All I had on underneath was cycling shorts and a short sleeve dri fit t. Kept almost too warm. Can't wait for colder weather. They also carry a great balacava, in the spoting goods area, that has a small opening for the nose and mesh over the mouth. Can't wait to try it out. I have always had problems beathing while covering my mouth and nose with solid ones.

Hi,
Lands End has a really nice windproof fleece jacket for $50. They are popular enough that they are also backordered in my size. They have them at Sears as well, although those are mostly gone too. So I will trundle of to Target, and see what those look like, thanks.

The brandname is Prospirit. They have a round red sticky tag on the outside that states "Windproof".

Went to Target today and picked one up. Won't be able to try it out until the week-end at least. They didn't have any women's. so had to buy mens. Thanks for the tip.
