Capris pants might not seem likely the manliest of pants, but in this “in-between” cool and warm weather, some rock climbers might want more of their legs covered without constricting movement. The Patagonia Men’s Rock Craft Capris will do the trick, as these are made of lightweight stretch-woven nylon with moisture-shedding DWR (durable water repellent) finish and feature 40-UPF sun protection. They cover more of the leg but still provide plenty of movement.

After the long winter it might be good to put away the coat and put on a pair of skorts or shorts and hit the green. Antigua has new offers in its Antigua Spring 2014 Women’s Golf Collection.

Upright (Not Uptight) Rider
We’ve seen a movement towards cycling attire that isn’t so aimed at the hardcore rider – however some of it is for the truly “uptight cyclist.” Phil Siegert’s line of cycling attire isn’t so uptight, but it is for the Upright Cyclist – which is now the name of his business.
His line of clothing is for those who don’t want to change what they are wearing to go for a ride, so whether it is for commute to work, a leisurely weekend trip around town or a journey to the store, Upright Cyclist can have you covered. The company, which just launched last month, introduced five pieces that include shorts, pants and three jackets and each is meant to handle riding around town, while still looking good off the bike.
Coming up Shorts
Not everyone likes cycling in skin tight apparel. For more casual riding Zoic has you covered with its Men’s X Shorts for 2013. These provide a loose, lightweight fit, while the quick-drying 4-way stretch fabric will still keep you covered and dry. These feature a 14-inch inseam that is designed to fall below the knees, while the relaxed casual style will look good on and off the bike.
Foska Pulls Up Baggy Bike Shorts
Recently when we were biking, a pedestrian we passed – whose shorts were down to about his knees – asked “Why your shorts so tight?” It was pretty comical. But on some rides, we’d like the padding but also some loose-fitting shorts. Foska has a new pair, the Buttox Baggy Cycling Shorts. Shorts like these help cyclists fit in when they’re off the bike, but still offer the performance of those spandex staples of cycling. Continue reading Foska Pulls Up Baggy Bike Shorts
