Looking for a jacket type thing, and some pants (however underarmor legging things work well, but my ankles get cold)
I dont want ot let the weather stop me from riding since im having so much fun

ANy ideas?

i was looking at this
http://www.earthwindandrider.com/produc ... 210&page=1
its a decent hoodie, since i dont feel the need to look like lance armstrong all the time i want something more subdued

any other options out there?
How do you guys layer? I know i can look online for guys, but i mean, who better than the people that ride in the same climate i do.

Also gloves. i go through gloves like crazy, i wear through them. can you guys reccomend a decent set?

You might want to check:

http://www.huckandroll.com (backcountry's MTB division)
http://www.realcyclist.com (their road/commuter division)

and the usual suspects from the UK (best prices and super fast shipping)

http://www.probikekit.com
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com
http://www.wiggle.co.uk

If you're trying to not look the part of a roadie, I'd suggest MTB-style shorts with leg warmers or tights....for the top, just simply layer with whatever you're comfortable with.

Check out the manufacturer Craft for gloves - I have their full fingered and their lobster mitts and am very happy with both. Probikekit carries the full line of Craft apparel.
