Hi IceBikers,
Several weeks ago I saw on the ICEBIKE site a section that listed Foxwear as a place that sold clothing suitable
for biking.
Well, I tried it. I sent email to Lou and told him what I was looking for and he
suggested several choices for material to use. I think Foxwear is unusual because Lou will
make the clothing to fit your size and using the material that you choose. I also find the
prices to be very reasonable.
I ordered some tights for my kids and myself. I also had a pair of pants made using
Windblock material. I have found that pants made from that material is difficult to
find...especially in my size.
Lou made the clothing and sent it to me in about a week. The kids like wearing their
tights as pajamas at bedtime. Very comfortable. I use the tights and pants for biking,
downhill and cross country skiing. They also are very comfortable and warm. Obviously the
suitability of the clothing will vary depending on what material you choose.
What is helpful is that Lou is familiar with the requirements of clothing in different
winter activities, and he is very knowledgeable about the different kinds of materials. He
often will send out samples of the materials for you to look at before you make your
choice.
He offers a money back guarantee ... in my case because he doesn't have on-line
ordering, he made the clothing and sent it to me with a bill. If I didn't like the
clothing I didn't have to buy it.
The web site is http://www.foxwear.net
and you can email Lou at fox@salmoninternet.com
I'm not connected with Foxwear in any way, just a satisfied customer.
