Winter Draw(er)s On !

[Arjimlad]

Well that was disappointing - 7 degrees not 4.. ! Come on, the cold !

As my knees get older they feel the cold more, i have been using legwarmers for a month and this morning i had tights and a base layer along with my aldi gloves.

Only difference I've got when it gets cold is I put a hoodie on over my t-shirt. If I wore all the stuff in the OP I'd have lost about a stone by the time I get to work!

Can't wait for it to get colder, I really do hate hot weather I'm just not equipped to deal with it.

I'm always in long bib tights. The airtex ones won't be out till it gets down to zero, these have wind proof panels over the knee, thigh and kidney area.

Getting cold muscles ain't fun.

been in longs for about a month, I think legs need to be kept warm, mine anyway, it's certainly been comfortable, just a LS top and winter socks with summer shoes

Me too - Shorts weather is above 15 degrees or from October onwards !

This morning I was caught out though but warmed up once at work - Disadvantages of living on a steep hill by the time I get to the bottom and realising it's going to be a cold one.

cor, nip on the way home, cold wind, only just warm with a base layer under ls top

winter coming

 

[J.Primus]

Was fine in my usual gear for everything except my poor ears. Nearly froze off. Need to wrap a scarf round my face next time!

buff is your man, been wearing one for a while now just as a necky thing on my low necked LS top, lately it's been creeping higher, this evening was the full up and over

 

[snorri]

I only wore shorts for a part of one day this past summer in this country, that seemed enough.

As I sit at work waiting for my replacement, the temperature guage is reading 1.8c, but on my last patrol that wind was bitter.
I'm geared up in DHB full length tights (roubiax I think), DHB windslam long sleeved jersey, normal cycling socks, road cycling shoes with neoprene overshoes. I ran this set up with Seal Skinz lobster mits last winter down to -2c (below that I added leg warmers and a windproof jacket, and remained comfortable to -5c). This morning I'm trying out my new Seal Skinz 'All Weather Gloves' they were marked as 3 on the thermo scale so I thought I'd try them as the lobster mits make my hands sweat above 0c.
Shift ends in half an hour, just when the coldest temperature was forcast!!
