Needing some warmer clothing for biking I stopped by REI today in hopes of finding something to keep me a bit warmer while riding. I ended up picking up a pair of Pearl Izumi Gavia Gloves to (hopefully) keep my hands warmer in colder temps, all the way through winter riding.
I also came across a bright yellow Canari Razor ’07 jacket at REI for $43.93. It is a size medium, but after trying it on I ended up purchasing it. I’m still not sure if it’s too small and should be returned for a large or not. It fits well over another layer and I can comfortably move my arms around, but it feels slightly snug in the shoulders if I wrap my arms around as if hugging myself. Maybe a slightly larger size would be better, just so it’s more free while riding and I can wear more layers beneath it, if needed. That said, I don’t want it too large otherwise it’ll just flap in the wind. I’ll decide tomorrow before leaving on a ride, I guess.
Kohl’s has the jeans I prefer (Levi 569) on sale for $29.99 a pair, and with both of my current pairs having growing holes in the knees I picked up two new pairs. I also grabbed three cheap ($5.40/ea) plain t-shirts to add to my growing collection of comfortable t-shirts without logos. Yes, I still prefer to wear t-shirts and jeans.
I have the same gloves… this will be season 3 I believe…? They are durable & very much warm enough for this time of the year in northern Michigan. They have also proven to be perfect for the Iceman race. I have used them in colder temps with silk liners. Very nice!
