Hi everyone!!!
I am currently looking to buy some cycling wear to get ready for Autumn/Winter, so I have some questions in mind after reading around that I'd like to have some advise about. Taking the advise of fellow cyclist in the previous thread, I have decided to get some Pearl Izumi to start with, other than it's closer to asian fit I also heard good stuff about the durability, so am thinking of investing of a few and hopefully can use it for long time!
For current purchase I am just thinking if I can use it all the way till end of Spring will be good! (And if any part can be used all year long then it's great!)
For tops I am thinking of either of this:
Jacket: https://www.pearlizumi.co.jp/detail/60137
Jersey: https://www.pearlizumi.co.jp/detail/60141
I don't quite understand about the difference between a cycling jacket and a jersey and also Windshell, but I suppose you will not wear jersey and jacket at same time and still need to wear an inner with it. So I am thinking of pairing the jacket/jersey with another inner from here: https://www.pearlizumi.co.jp/list/underwear
As for the fit, I am choosing race fit because I am really skinny so I think it will maybe be better for me to choose slimmer silhouette. As for why 5 or 10c is because as I am from the southern hemisphere, so I am really weak against cold, so I think i might stick with it for Autumn, Winter and Spring, and adjust the inner wear for warmth level since it's cheaper, and maybe get something else for summer when it's here again next year.
For bottom I am thinking of either:
I'm not sure should go with just tights or bib tights, currently am just choosing one that seems warm enough for winter and have windproof material with it.
Also I have choose all around 5c setting, am just thinking is that overkill or should be nice for Japan's winter?
In general I'm just thinking of getting a set of jersey/jacket/windshell + inner for tops + tights/big tights, as these are really expensive I should be just wearing the same set for quite awhile... But if anyone think I might be overspending and have better ideas for beginner like me especially a better way to do the laying, I would definitely love to hear it!
Thanks in advance!
