edited March 2009 in Commuting chat
My current commuting attire is:

Chrome camo courier bag
Endura high vis jacket
Endura camo 3/4 zyme shorts
dhb 3/4 bib tights
Converse all start high top camo boots (in toe clips on fixie)
661 red, white and blue gloves (go with my stars 'n stripes bar tape)

Note the high levels of "camo" in my clothing......am I wrong?! Do I have a DPM (disruptive pattern material) fetish? I look ridiculous.....!!

I am 34 - isn't it only 16 year olds that wear camo?! Can us oldies get away with it?

    I'd be wary of it on the commute, I'd be tempted to run you down just for the irony :D:D

    Hmm I think 19th Century combats would make you more visible on the road, white pith helmet, red jacket etc.

    With all that camo on be wary if you have an off when out in the country as you sometimes do on the commute, if you land in a bush nobody will be able to see you. I wear a pair of Airlwalk camo combats on my commute as I wear them when at work, all of 1 mile from home plus they were only ten bike bling tokens from a sports shop in Brizzle Broadmead.

    Here is a pic of gtvlusso in his camo commute gear in front of a bush :lol:

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I like landing in bushes..... :wink:

    I just need camoe socks now - the ol' green and white rugby socks are simply not cutting the mustard on the fashion stakes.
