Some folks just love been different and uncomfortable. Once met a bloke who ran the Comrades in a pair a jeans.Duran... It is a wonder he had a shirt on at all. It's a thing. I run in a check shirt. I ride in check shirts. First Ascent make rad tech fabric long and short sleeves. So do Columbia. One picks them up in the old person section at Sportsman's Wearhouse. They are insanely comfortable, breath well, dry lighting fast, don't cling to you or ride up and they are UV resistant. With a full button up front they regulate temperature well too. My go to shirt for long trail days like Puffer and 100 milers or long days in the saddle. I don't like stretchy fabric tops. So I see your 'uncomfortable' and raise you'tried, tested and comfy and a goose down pillow' Eddy Gordo, MORNE and T-Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted October 16, 2019 Share I ride in a long sleeve check shirt when in the mood, or a short sleeve technical shirt, the one with the huge air vent panel at the back. It is great as it keeps one nice and cool. I also have a "moses" short top that I ride in. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted October 17, 2019 Share What is flanno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted October 17, 2019 Share What is flanno? Australian Bogans most loved shirt, the iconic flannelette shirt. Better known as the flanno, or is it the flannie? Well, us Aussies love to end everything with o. Why waste time on long words when o is so much simpler? From the great Aussie tradition of the smoko, to our favourite pastime, the reno. And why is there always a mate called Johno or Davo? And who called it a bottle-o? It’s so fascinating how we love to end everything with o, someone should make a doco.Case closed for the flanno then.But we also love to end everything with y or ie. We’re not Australians, were Aussie! We love brekky, but we’re famous for the barbie! Don’t forget the esky and stubbie and the spray for the bloody mozzies! And what about the tradies? From the sparky and brickie to the truckie and chippie. And they all wear sunnies.So, the flannie could be right too.Let’s not start even start with how we also end everything with a. We’d need to get a cuppa to start talking about why we call it Maccas.Whatever you want to call it, the flannelette shirt is an Aussie icon for mullet wearing ferals and euro hipsters everywhere.

MORNE Posted October 17, 2019 Share lol maybe "rural" oz but the shirt of choice on the east coast is defo the "bintang" wifebeater.it also gives them enough airtime to show off their full body tatoos. No really...you would be forgiven for thinking australians are the most tatoo'd nation on earth....you are wierd if you walk around in your virgin pale and blank skin....
