You guys and your gear!
This reads like a fashion show.
O.K., so here's my 'sense of fashion!'
"Not too way down the list why I like recumbents is I didn't need any special biking clothing. Since speed is less important for me than comfort and style, I wear ordinary shorts and a t-shirt."
~ Hoydon
My recumbent experience began like Hoydon's.
Since then, over the years, the relative speed advantage of Cruzbikes reignited my love of speed so,
my t-shirts gave way to thin, brightly coloured wicking jerseys because I was either overheating or freezing in my cotton t-shirts;
-my wool socks gave way to short wicking socks, because all that sweat ... well, it's an improvement;
-a nice, fast, used Vendetta took the old Sofrider's place out on the street, because it's just faster;
-my comfy old ordinary shorts gave way to some sort of bike-specific skin-tight elastic/spandex shorts that were a gift and were, apparently, on sale...
my speed went up a few notches without those legs parachuting the wind.
Seriously, though, if you sweat a lot, consider wearing Headsweats, a sweat band, a skull cap or even a wicking bicycling cap under your helmet.
You know, to keep your brow dry and your eyes sweat-free.
Also, to keep those U.V. rays, the ones that sneak in through your helmet vents, off of your scalp... not that you really need that feature.
Just saying.
