arm/leg warmers or long pants

[Poison Ivy]

i dont see any on the first ascent site..where can i buy the above?

and also which is better long pants or warmers?

 

you can get arm/leg warmers from any of these brands, anatomic, first ascent, howzit, rapid sport, cape storm....take your pick...!!

 

personally, I'd rather go cold before I wear the pants thing.....

i'll probably will have to sell BOV...he he he

nee wat dan los ek ma i'll just get first ascent's long pants then...

 

Do yourself a favour and go to Rapid sports in town & get a pair of their winter arm warmers & leg warmers. Well priced & work very well.

While you're there, get a thermal vest they're great!

Can you guys recommend some places in JHB to get decent winter kit or is it a case of going around all the cycling shops and picking around for what you want? The cycling shops are not always well stocked for kit.

One of the best buys for winter rides is a Mr Price rain coat. It's bright, cheap and keeps the wind out.
