Shout out to Boure, who I think make excellent clothing at fair prices right here in the good old USA. I wore out a pair of their winter tights over many years of use but had not bought any new things for a while.

Two recent purchases: Socks, winter type. I use them for XC skiing and cycling. Soft, resilient, pretty much perfect. My wife who is not a cyclist loved them for winter use so she got some for her birthday.

And a PRO Thermal jersey. Nice soft Polartec material, seems like it will be durable. Medium size fits me just right over a layer, I'm 5'6 and about 150. Rode it today with a thin wool long sleeve underneath, 45 and sunny out.
Only $100 and they often have some kind of sale going on. Could easily sell for twice as much with a fancier name on the pocket and some "epic" advertising.

Great products, fair prices, fantastic return policy and folks with a sense of humor. My favorite cycling apparel company.

The long sleeve SPF jerseys rock.

Actually bought one of the long sleeve SPF jerseys with the fleece jersey.
Just waiting for enough sun and warmth to actually wear it.

Big +1

I don't understand why few cyclists -- whether in online communities or locally -- have even heard of them.

Really good people and really good products makes me want to buy from Drew and company.

Dave, who needs more shorts and will consider some bib shorts this year

I just purchased two pairs of elite bibs which were on sale for $105 a piece. I love the fit, construction. The chamois is nice and thinner than most. I ride an Aliante so I don't need a big diaper.

I purchased soley based on the postive customer feedback in some of these threads and could not be more happy.

FYI -- their Pro shorts and bib shorts are on sale right now.

Dave, who finds it interesting that he much prefers the lesser priced Pro with the moderate padding to the more expensive Elite shorts
