MOST CYCLE CLOTHING
I like the Rapha Brevet range and have a range of jerseys in different weights and colours. They're comfortable, have lots of pockets, and the centre hoops are highly reflective.
I have a few pairs of shorts, but for touring I always use Assos because I find these the most comfortable by far. I even called into a bike shop in Briancon during the Torino Nice and bought a second pair (quite pricey too!) The Assos collaboration with Mammut produced a good pair of cargo shorts which I also like.
