Your feng shui is off - February 21st, 2008

Here is a list of all the stuff I wear to ride in the winter:

Salomon Avo insulated, waterproof boots -60

From EMS

Adidas Response tights -40
Nashbar

Adidas Climawarm jersey -40
Nashbar

DeFeet Wool Blaze sock -13
Performance

Performance PolyPro skull cap -0
Performance

Performance PolyPro balaclava -0
Performance

Pearl Izumi AmFib Inferno gloves -65 (these have three fingers has opposed to two or four - not including thumbs)
Brands Cycle (not where I bought them, but has the best price currently)

Nashbar Lightweight gloves (these go inside Pearl Izumi gloves so I can remove those to do certain tasks and still be marginally protected from the cold/wind) -15
Nashbar

Nashbar Revel multi-lens sunglasses -15 (I bought these because they came with absolutely clear lenses for nighttime riding)
Nashbar

Optic Nerve Redhawk RX sunglasses -20 (for daytime riding. I bought them with the intention of getting the prescription filled, but then I lost my first pair and I'm on the second. Not going to get the prescription because I know I will just lose that and it costs too much.)
NetShades (they also sell on eBay)

Threshold gaiters -20 (I haven't used these yet, they just came and it's not wet out)
Campmor

Ogio Patrol backpack -90 (awesome backpack, holds everything I need it to)
Backcountry.com (but I got it at their outlet last year)

I think that should do it for me. What's next: windproof underwear. It gets really cold down there sometimes. Add it all up and you get $378, not including any taxes or shipping fees. That also includes the $90 backpack I use at all times during the year. The worst purchase on here are the $65 gloves. I needed them then and I needed them now, money was hardly an object because I had to do my job and I was suffering on the way to work and I couldn't wait for shipping to get gloves here. I had waited already for some gloves which I returned the day after they arrived and bought the ones you see listed here.
