I’m ordering a custom club jersey and we only do a group order every few years so want to get it right! I am short on decent winter gear and spent most of last winter with my short sleeve club top on top of a long sleeve jersey.
How warm is the Roubaix? Warm enough to replace a thin coat in winter? I guess its not windproof or showerproof. Will it be overly warm for mountain biking in the spring/autumn? I was thinking it was a warm jersey but have noticed it is in the jacket section.
My current thinking is a Roubaix top and a Windtex jacket that with various combinations of the two should cater for Autumn to Spring. Or would Roubaix and Windtex together be overkill even mid-winter?
Thanks, I was going for the full windtex. I wasn’t sure whether both items would be almost identical in warmth or if one was just a slightly thicker jersey and one a full jacket. Sounds like they are a sensible choice and will cover most of my riding.
I only have a paclite style goretex rain shell and a fairly rubbish windproof so struggle with the cold in winter, usually end up wearing a base layer and two or three l/s and s/s jerseys at the moment!
