..that can work hard?
I'll get it out of the way first, I'm vain, now...
I cover a lot of miles, live in the suburbs, scrapped my car and don't want to wear my lycra for a trip to the supermarket, gym, pub etc but need to survive the elements and my own perspiration.
So far, the Charge Surface range is brilliant, water resistant, breathable, smart and doesn't cost the earth. Have the shorts, the hoodie and the jacket looks great but I don't want to dress head to toe in one brand, any other recommendations for smart casual jerseys, merino perhaps etc etc?

p.s. without looking like a bike messenger!

Is this all from my 'What 'smart' shorts...?' thread? If so, lol! I am really tempted with their hoodie having seen it in Evans...
Shutt are just about to release their new Autumn and Winter collection which includes some off the bike bits and pieces.0 -

My wallet is ruined! Its so good to have great working clothing that nobody has a clue is bike wear.

aha brilliant :twisted:
I'm just going to buy more Surface stuff, MTB specific stuff doesn't quite cut it, used the hoody a few times now, brilliant.
Going to buy the aquaphobic jacket as it'll double as a nice cycle/casual/ski jacket this winter.

They look no worse without a bike than they do with it.... but 3/4s always look silly.
