The idea appeals to me greatly but I instantly think of the thorns and reach for my pants and long sleeved shirt. I ride in a game preserve in LA where there are no mountains, just mud, trees and thorns. Oh yea, snakes too.
Sports Authority sells Under armor, as well as Nike compression, coolmax, head, adidas, and probably more wicking apparel. Last time I was there, they had Under Armor on sale and head/coolmax stuff on sale and clearanced.Originally posted by: rgwalt
Look for Under Armor Heat Gear. Not that cheap, but definitely worth the money.

if you can afford it, look for fabric with Static X (or X Static, I can't remember). It combines quick drying fabric (almost always polyester; sometimes, like Under Armour, they add stuff). Static X has silver in it, which kills the bacteria that makes your clothes smell from the sweat. It'll be good for days.

Depends on where you ride. If you have mountain trails then shorts and a tank top may work for you. Even when in Idaho I would have preferred a long sleeve coolmax shirt to keep the sun off me, they breathe pretty well. However, I didn't bring mine and the store only had them for $90 so I went with what I had.
Where you riding?

Clipless pedals? My bike has pedals which don't require a special shoe. Are those clipless pedals? Does that mean I need these shoes? The only other shoe I'm planning on wearing are new balance running/ all terrain shoes. However they don't have the easy to remove mud type cleats found on those MTB shoes.
