Are gilets for losers?

Well, are they? To me, they represent the solution to the "needing wind/rain protection without getting too hot" conundrum.

i use one if needed, but not for getting round the smoke.

but then i am also a Loser

I heard they were "The best a man can get". ;)

I don't see why it matters.

Its a solution to a problem.

I've got one but I rarely use it. There's a very fine line temperature-wise between being warm enough to wear a cycling jersey/armwarmers, a gilet or a jacket

Thankyou, thankyou, I'm here all week!

hippy Thankyou, thankyou, I'm here all week!

unlike your bike

haha..

A what?

Oh a waist coat. Yeah I wear one in the cold sometimes. It's all about variaty. I like them because they add good warmth but pack down small in your bag.

The question you have to ask yourself is, Are you a sinner or a winner?

The bike is still here.
I asked for permission to keep it in the large empty area in our stairwell.
They said no.
I locked it in the stairwell anyway.
Fsck 'em. They can find me an alternative or sack me.

I think they called it a 'life preserver' in Back To The Future, in... 1986?

I loathe mine aesthetically, but on pure functionality with its wind-blocking front and mesh back, I can't help going back to it in the half-seasons.

they called it a life preserver when he went back to 1955. because it looked like a life-jacket.

in 1986 i imagine it was called a bodywarmer.

No, it was known as a Fox Hugger or a Venus de Milet.
