      Shorts and tee almost all year round. If it gets down to about minus 5 °C I might consider a hoodie or something similar...

      I always start out cold in W/S/A but after 30 mins often still regret wearing too much. I keep a padded gilet and a light waterproof in the backpack in case I have to stop to fix something - or push it home.
      I often stall in or need to wade deeper mud/water, so fleece lined wellies and ski socks do the tootsies a treat in winter 👍
      I don't care what others think I look like - they are strangers and I enjoy being comfortable 😊

    New biker here. I find dickies canvas shorts are great as I already had them. Solid canvas for protection, breathable in the summer and nice and loose for movement. I have an old cheap windbreaker for the grey days which works great so far. But I want to invest in something a bit more specific for top half as it gets warmer. I hated sweaty t-shirts last year.

    Great video, I definitely think mountain biking clothes are the most underrated cycle accessory. They are designed to keep you comfortable :). Like you say a cotton t-shirt is fine but you do definitely get too hot and sweaty in them and it just clings to your body 😂

    I live in central Colorado. There’s not a lot of winter mountain biking to be done here. In the summer time you just have to accept getting wet. It will rain for 30min to an hour around 3pm and then go back to being sunny.

    Ordered a Nukeproof Nirvana for about 77,50€ a few days ago, since I really needed a very light but weather proof jacket.
    I get really hot even from just walking, even in winter, so I rather have some light weather proof outer layer and then layer up beneath for needed insulation with regular clothes, if necessary.

    Everything functions properly czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of CZcams. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!
