This is a few years old now, with new products to market -- but here were my post-tour thoughts after SF-SB in 2011:
https://veloflaneur.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/7-day-tour-what-i-brought/ Don't bring much in terms of clothing. In general, two versions of on-bike clothing (2 wool t-shirts, 2 shorts, 2 pair wool socks, with 1 seersucker/chambray/SPF collared overshirt as the exception), and 1 set of off-bike clothes (lightweight pants, camp t-shirt, down jacket, swim trunks). The coast will be wet in the morning during the summer, but rain is highly unlikely. A small quick-dry camp towel can be hung off the back while riding. Honestly, keeping things dry is the challenge, even in drought, and especially north of SLO. Esteban San Diego, Calif.
