Mojoman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Some arm and leg warmers and a buff or two with some gloves and inners will help you through winter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt71t508 Posted February 18, 2015 Share This might be a dumb question, what are inners? And leg + arms warmers as opposed to a jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted February 18, 2015 Share I have ridden with literally dozens of levels and styles of kit over the years. I second: - Running shirts. Adidas also has a nice range, I often ride with their Supernova stuff, even though I have a wide variety of cycling-specific items in my arsenal.- Dakine packs. Not only are they cheaper, they're better. Camelbak is for those who don't know better, real riders use Dakine or Evoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvin' Marvin Posted February 18, 2015 Share I find Velotex Red bibs brilliant value for money and damn comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicNacDH Posted February 18, 2015 Share This might be a dumb question, what are inners? And leg + arms warmers as opposed to a jersey? Sample of arm warmers: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/catalog/apparel/arm-warmers Buff, arm and leg warmer are quite handy, as you start in the cool morning. Later on, as the sun and the trails are warming you up, you can take them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackster Posted February 19, 2015 Share Buffs. Buy the ones from the lady who advertises on this site. R30 I think. Don't pay anything more. They're great for cold weather but also for sweat management and sun protection. Buy five and rotate through them. Buy good gloves. Start cheap but then take note of what you like and don't like. Wait for a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted February 19, 2015 Share This might be a dumb question, what are inners? And leg + arms warmers as opposed to a jersey?You can buy a cheapish pair of normal long fingered cycling gloves and add some inners (much thinner gloves) that you can get from Sportsmans etc, nothing worse than cold hands (and toes!) and there is equally nothing worse than hot and sweaty hands. For cold feet I use a thin pair of summer socks under my thicker winter socks. You can get the arm and leg warmers at a good price from Anatomic....

linuxlg Posted February 19, 2015 Share - I use a 1,5l Fox hydration bag, if I need more then I use a water bottle in the cage.- I use indola baggies to ride in, I love these, I bought 3 of these baggies- I use a mixture of Fox shirts and sportsman ware house shirts I ride between 25 to 45 km. Being sugarcane riding to Giba riding. I had Mr price shirts and tights but I did not like them after buying my first Fox and indola baggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partydave Posted February 19, 2015 Share Stay far far FAR away from the Mr. Price stuff. I bought a Maed jersey for R299, the fit was terrible and it was super uncomfortable. I went to Sportsmans Warehouse the next day and picked up a Cape Storm jersey for R350. Much better fit, lighter and very comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3m0n369 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Hi guys. Also a noob at mtb. Looking at Fox jersey and Fox Ranger baggies. Are they good quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangar Posted February 19, 2015 Share Hi guys. Also a noob at mtb. Looking at Fox jersey and Fox Ranger baggies. Are they good quality? Yup, the rangers shorts are cool and you can wear other inners under them. Fox jersey's are nice but I like the cape storm ones because they are a bit cheaper and just as nice.

reniervs Posted February 19, 2015 Share I recently bought a pair of Fox Evolution bib shorts from an online store and I must honestly say that they are the best shorts I have ridden with imo. Like the fit and have used them on a couple of 50km+ rides with no problems or any discomfort. R799, which may sound expensive but is very cheap compared to other big name brands.

kt71t508 Posted February 22, 2015 Share What about shoes? What does everyone think is good value for money without being too expensive. I'm not planning on winning any major races so a 5k pair of shoes, while looking nice, is a waste of money. I've seen Louis Garneau Monte shoes on cyclelabs website and they seem good value for money at 1,6k.Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
