    I wear shorts and T-shirt. I'd be far too warm in jeans under textiles.

    In winter I wear thermal top and bottoms.

    Do you guys bring a change of clothes and shoes with you going to work etc or just go about your business in your gear?

    I wear thin leggings under textile pants. I find that even if it's freezing you still get hot in them and the lining is like a sleeping bag and gets stuck to your legs. Just wear long sleeved top under the jacket.

    I work in a solicitor's office so I bring my work clothes in a bag.

    Wear what ever YOU find comfortable...if you find that your PJ's make you feel better on a bike wear them.

    In the cold cold days I wear the RST thermal top and bottoms under the textiles, and I take the linings out and use a wind stopper and breathable ski jacket and the difference is huge.

    I always take out one layer from the textile pants and wear jeans or combats aswell. Under the jacket its usually just a tshirt.

    Although on work days i just wear my trousers and shirt under the gear.

    Snap, just bring a pair of jeans in my back pack to change into, and I always keep a spare jacket in my office.

    Though I should keep a spear pair of jeans, the odd time I forget them I have to spend the day in my leathers.

    Edit: Also always have a pair of docs or shoes in the office to change into.

    I ride to work with all my work clothes on under the textiles.

    Its fine most of the time. On very hot days in the summer I'll bring my work clothes in a bag and change.

    I wear a textlie jacket and pants. The jacket has removable inner lining so to make it lighter and much better for hot days. I just wear them all day really, but alot of the time I will wear jeans under my textile pants and I can just pop off the textiles whenever if im not in a place where I can get changed easily. I wish I didnt have to wear so much crap though :( But I know the one day I go out without wearing all my gear something will happen .

    This. Wear it over normal trousers and shirt, and take the gear off as I get to work. I leave formal shoes at work. Easy. On casual fridays, in the peak of summer, jeans under the textiles might be a bit warm, but I just go faster. :D

    It all depends. Going in and out of work, 25 minute commute I wear jeans, same with going somewhere when I'll need to change into normal clothes.
    On a longer spin or touring the thermals underneath is a great job, very comfortable. Always wear some sort of top under the jacket too.

    used to:

    wear jeans under textiles going to work. change in work and wear boots all day.

    sunny summer days, just jeans.

    all I can say now is atgatt

    As in hard armour or cold and warm layers....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,329 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    Keep an eye out in lidl, they do merino wool thermal layer top and bottoms for a good price. I spent about 50 quid a piece for hellie Hanson ones.
    Although, they do make a massive difference

    When Im going to work Im normally just wear my slacks and shirt on underneath. Mind you id only be on the bike for 15 minutes tops.

    When Im in college I normally wear tracksuit bottoms and a jumped under my textiles. The Tracksuit bottoms are so comfy for me.
