Buying the Basics

It is important to mention the SIX RULES that apply when buying any outdoor gear  including bike clothes

1.  Buy QUALITY

2.  Buy only what FITS you.

3.  A FEW GOOD PIECES are better than many bad ones.

4.  Plan and consider how all the pieces WORK TOGETHER

5.  BUY ON SALE if you can, but DO NOT buy sale items that are not of the best quality just because they are cheap.

6.  BUY THE BEST and take care of what you have. Buy it at full price if it is the best or very special to you and take good care of it.
