I'm fussy about the look and feel of stuff, I never do mail order clothes.

Stck with LBS, Halfrauds and the occasional Lidl offer.

I still reckon you can get shorts cheaper than £50 and a coat for less than £100. I've only ever spent anything approaching that on my CC shorts, which were a bit of a treat. My Endura jacket is as good as anything you'll get, and probably cost about £50 - I've had it so many years I can't remember...

But complaining about the cost, if you're being fussy - you're making a rod for your own back!

I got a good pair of Endura shorts (padded baggies) for £25 that are very comfortable, and an Altura Nevis (?) waterproof jacket for £38. Those weren't special offers either.

I'm lucky enough that my commute is about 3 miles so I ease off on the last bit and manage to keep reasonably cool that way. The other way to do it is (if you can) to work the hours like I do, i.e., start at 7:15am and finish at about 5pm ish, that way the morning commute is relatively relaxed due to absent traffic, the commute home doesn't matter so much if I'm going like a lunatic around all the back roads to avoid traffic because I've got the comfort of a shower at home when I get back.

Subscribe to the Aldi web site. Their stuff is cheap and decent quality. The sell cycling specific stuff twice a year, but much of their running/skiing/walking stuff might be useful. Check out the sales though. There are big reductions on some stuff. Now's the time to get summer gear!
