I should really talk to you guys, cause I just barely know what I'm doing. Some experience would be helpful.
Yeah the jersey won't much matter, but thank you. I'll be wearing it over this suit of armor. Which, by the way, came in the other day and I really like it. It's a lot lighter weight than I expected and once it's on I barely notice it. I do feel like starting a fight though. :lol:
I'll probably be wearing a very lightweight shirt under the armor jacket though, so would you say synthetic is the way to go there?
As far as the goggles go, I did just get some fairly cheap ones that have regular tear-offs available. So they should work, and I got lucky I guess that the fitment with the helmet I got is decent.
What do you guys think about pants? That's the only thing I haven't got yet. Well, I *thought* I did, ordered some on closeout, but I guess they had a miscount and didn't have any to ship.
So is something like this approprite? Necessary?

I'm pretty tempted to just try jeans for starting out. And I've got a lot of practice to do anyway, so there's no rush. I'm 95% sure they will become uncomfortable if I'm really going to be on the bike for over an hour though.
