What do you wear when it starts getting cold?
There is a lot of new soft shell material available. Kind of expensive though.

What do you wear when it starts getting cold?
how cold are we talking? I just wear whatever I happen to be wearing that day unless I am going for a seriously long ride. Once it is around -25 or colder I like to wear ski goggles to keep my eyes from freezing in the wind (road rides and commuting) I am a big fan of wool.

Yeah... your definition of cold on this one will make a big difference on how you dress. I like a pair of wrap around ear muffs with my helmet and then a decently warm hoodie or two. That's if it's just cool... as in above -10. (celcius) You can block off some of the vents in your helmet, that helps cut the wind chill a bit. -- madmattunipro Unicycle For Christ www.bedfordunicycles.ca http://www.norco.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ madmattunipro's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10763 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74463 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

When it's cold, I have one of those Pearl Izumi headbands (lots of others make them, too) to put on before my helmet. If it's really windy too, I'll also put a bandana on under the helmet. I will also cast another vote for the removable arm warmers. I have an old pair by Castelli that are super warm... they're made out of some combo of fleece and lycra. The only thing that I'm missing right now are knee warmers. I don;t know about anyone else, but my knees are affected by the cold more than anything else. -- Buretto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Buretto's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17991 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74463 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I put on some mitts over the KH gloves. I use leather gauntlet mitts with removable wool lining. sort of like this but with no tassels. [image: http://authenticcanadianmukluks.com/...%20fringe.jpg] If it isn't that cold and you still want to use individual fingers you could also throw on a pair of work gloves that are a size too big over your KH gloves. -- saskatchewanian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74463 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

What do you wear when it starts getting cold?
Generally it's: t-shirt down to freezing(hooded sweatshirt if I'm not warmed up), t-shirt, hat and gloves down to 10 degrees Fahrenheit(again, hoodie if I'm not warmed up), hoodie down to 0(might take it off if I'm really working hard, might have a flanel shirt or something similar on underneath), commence thicker socks fleece coat and insulated pants down to -20(yes, and hat and gloves), all of the above with ski goggles, something to breathe through and good boots down to -40, below -40 is pretty rare and I haven't unicycled in it, but I have run outside for a minute to marvel at the effects of -60 degree weather I've run in the snow without any shoes on down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit, but in hindsight that was rather stupid(and some other clothing might have been wise as well) And obviously I add/remove layers as I overheat or get cold, -- nimblelight 'Front page unicycle article' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=72686). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nimblelight's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17248 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74463 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I just got a pair of 'Novara Cold Front' (http://www.rei.com/product/757067) gloves, and they rock. If anything, they're too warm for most applications. I went for a ride today to test out various cold weather gear combinations in preparation for the 'Chilly Hilly' (http://www.cascade.org/EandR/chilly/index.cfm) ride in February. The temp was 33 degrees F (just a nick above freezing for you Celcius fans), and this was the first ride with the gloves where the temperature was cold enough that my hands didn't cook. They stayed toasty, but didn't overheat. Here's the rest of my cold/wet weather set-up, from bottom up: -ski socks and my Merrill insulated hiking boots -chamois riding shorts first, then my Eddie Bauer poly long-john bottoms, then my REI rain pants -REI long sleeve underwear top, with REI fleece top over that. Novara convertible windbreaker on top of that. The sleeves zip off if it gets warmer, and I'll pack a rain top in case it starts raining or snowing. -The aforementioned Cold Front gloves --On top, my Descente ski helmet liner to keep in my head heat That was today's setup, 33 degrees and light rain which turned to snow halfway through. Worked great, I was warm the full ride, without getting too sweaty or overheating. When my core started feeling too warm, I just unzipped the windbreaker and cooled off. For the second half of the ride, I took off the helmet liner, which seemed to equalize my core temp. From there, I never got too warm to the point of having to unzip the windbreaker. But my ears got cold, so I may need to figure out a different head covering strategy. The only thing I didn't like about the setup was riding with my hiking boots. I'm used to riding with my Van's sneakers, but those aren't warm or waterproof, and my Merrills are both. But they add weight, and I was definitely noticing that on the hills. Originally wanted to wear my snow clogs, but couldn't find them in my mess of a garage. Still two months before the Chilly, so more research to come... -- tomblackwood Tailgate at your own risk... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomblackwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3762 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74463 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
