Retro Cycling Wool Jerseys

The Retro cycling Wool Jerseys is one of the most comfortable materials for cycling clothing.You can wear it from the coldest temperatures up to 80+ degrees and be happy with appropriate layering. You can stay warm even when it's wet. Although expensive, wool clothing lasts a long time when well cared for. One of the best characteristics is it almost never smells—no more polypro stink!

Fifteen to twenty years ago, most cycling jerseys and shorts were wool. If you hunt around you can find wonderful old team jerseys, many of them rather scratchy.

Here's a primer below to help with your search for wool. Most of it isn't cheap. A typical jersey is around $90, tights are $100+ and leg warmers are $45. A lot of high quality wool underwear available in various thicknesses; a typical midweight long-sleeve top is $60. In some cases I hesitate to call it underwear because it's nice enough to wear around town.

Most wool clothing is hard to find, in fact you'll probably have to order it to try it on. Wool clothing is even harder to find on sale. The clothing is pretty plain, usually just a couple of solid colors though still quite nice looking.

How do you care for wool? Caring for wool is easy since most of it is machine washable now (just be sure to air-dry it!). Choose a soap worthy of wool—Ivory Snow Liquid works really well. For more tips go to www.seattlerandonneur.org/info/woolcare.html.

When you search for wool, check out how much wool is in the clothing. Wool has started to become a buzzword and some of the new stuff is a wool blend.

Now that you know what you're in for, here's what's available and where to get it. Good luck in your search for some of the best clothing out there.
