    vent . . . men bike riders with man boobs

    Blech... I recently saw a girl riding on the back of a motorcycle on the interstate wearing cutoffs and a bikini top. I didn't judge - but it gave me a minor anxiety attack to think about what would...

    UA Frosty Compression Tights or ?

    I second or third Sugoi Midzero/Subzero for those temps. I have only used UA Heatgear so can't compare Coldgear to Sugoi, but I have a lot of Sugoi pieces and would say that in general it is higher...
