>>1381228Isn't synthetic down just cheaper and worse than goose or duck?
and a down jacket is extremely weight effective for the warmth it gives
a expensive raincoat is also worthwhile unless your focus is solely on riding in which case you can do with something much lighter and more aero which will soak through and rip easily.
I've taken a button up shirt on a month long tour too. It cost me $10 at a thrift store. Very good for gathering wood and stuff like that and sun protection. Nice and loose. Just in general one of the pieces of clothing that was most useful. Is pic related hipster nonsense?
yeah they're all trying a bit hard and restrictive pants to cycle in trigger me but it's really not that bad. And those guys riding normie hardtails surely aren't proper tryhard hipsters.
