It's like they charge more, for less
Haha yeah but the coolest (temp wise) jersey I have is a rapha lightweight. Hoping these are even more coolerer
@Monkey Soup CR tops are the bomb. I have like 5 pairs
I have exactly 1 pair of rapha bib shorts that are always either in wash or on top of the clean pile. I need to grab another 2 and throw away those champion bibs.
Mtb I am wearing golf shorts over them
Road no golf shorts

Word to the wise, never, ever ever wash those without putting them in a garment bag first because it will come out in a ball of twisted mess. Also never wear off road because the fabric will catch easy. Ultra lightweight for road clothing = delicate AF.

Good to know. I figured off road would be a bad idea, especially in picker-land

I have the O'Neal elements gear. Tough and light weight. When it gets really hot out I'm usually in a pair of Old Navy cargo shorts and an Under Armour loose fit T-shirt... and a pair of Vans, always rocking the Vans My lid is an O'Neal Backflip shocker full face. My grill isn't pretty, but it doesn't need to get any uglier

I also wear one of these on my head when it gets really hot. It works, but you have to refresh it several times during a ride.

I always have problems with online clothes. Almost never the right size and I have to send it back. I prefer to buy in person. Except for Fiveten shoes, which are sized consistently and I feel comfortable buying online.
I don't really see one of my categories in the poll. In person at a non-local bike shop (I live in NJ but go to Performance Bike in PA sometimes to buy) and in person at an all purpose sports/outdoor store, like Campmor.

Buying shorts online is tough for me because of the whole fit thing. With jerseys, I get large and 99% of the time they fit. I bought Endura Humvee shorts at the LBS because I could try them first. I just bought a pair of Sombrio Pinners up in VT because I destroyed my Humvees and my bike in a crash. Haven’t tried the Pinners yet, but they fit well in the store and seem durable, yet breathable. As soon as the Physical Therapy guy gives me the green-light I’ll go for a ride (most likely before since I’m the king of bad decisions).
Is this the folks who custom make out the basement in Philly? I had a pair of shorts back in the 90s that were absolutely the best ever, closest I have found today are the rapha.
*edit nevermind looked up and realized it's death Row help. That was not it.

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
Yeah I was going ot say -- I think you may be thinking of Lone Wolf Cycling, although they weren't around in the 90's. The only other one I know in this area was a real small company in the early 00's called Earth Pilot who made jerseys and some other stuff. My first cycling jersey ever was from them.
