What legwere do you employ during the cold and wet?

[Simpleton]

A pair of longs or leg warmers for that extra bit of flexability.

overshoes and/or sealskinz socks to keep the feet warm.

 

[topcat1]

Mudguards and Altura night vision for work, legwarmers or winter tights for play

Back to shorts for me today. Where is this promised cold and wet?

Back to shorts for me today. Where is this promised cold and wet?

I know, the wet is certainly here but it was 15 degrees for goodness sake in London!

 

[numbnuts]

When it's really cold, 300 denier woollen ladies tight and thin Lycra running tights over the top

Hair!

Hair!

Just make sure you tuck it into your socks, you don't want it catching in the chain.

I find that a nice warm bed keeps me dry on wet riding days.

Lycra trousers. I find Lycra doesn't absorb much water and as such, they are not uncomfortable to wear in the rain unlike everyday clothing which soaks up water and then you have wet cloth next to your skin. It hardly ever gets cold enough in the SE of England to require any true cold weather clothing (December 2010 excepted), even in mid winter I only wear my coat over a t-shirt and that is plenty unless it is sub-zero, when I may put another layer on. I have failed to find anything that will keep feet dry for a 45 minute ride in continuous rain, and I have tried various overshoes in the past, now I just deal with the fact that occasionally I will get wet feet and change shoes and socks at my destination.

So we are moving to the cold and wet times.

I have head, body, hands, neck all sorted but have never been happy with my legwere?

I would like to stay dry, but can live with damp, warm is more important

Any pearls of wisdom out there?

What is this cold you refer to??????????????????????????????

 

[BrumJim]

I'm on day 3 of this summer in shorts (starting week 51).
