Cooler temps

[OakLeaf]

By toe covers, I mean the ones that go on the tops of my shoes. Is that what you're talking about?

Yep. The ones that squeeze the life out of my midfoot so as to hold on to the tops of my shoes.

And +1 on knickers and knees. And knee warmers, too. With a gripper above the ankle, they put pressure on the kneecap the way full-length tights don't. I can wear knee warmers as long as I'm careful about how I put them on. With knickers, it's the combination of the knee issue, plus the way longer legs pull the chamois around, that makes me prefer shorts.


Here's what I hate about cold weather: having to START from freezing cold indoors before my workout, to strip naked, to put on workout clothes that not only are themselves freezing cold, but are less than will keep me warm outside until I'm fully warmed up. There are two times all day I get nekkid when the temperature in the house is below 67°, and one of them is to jump right into a hot shower. I do NOT look forward to dressing for a run or ride when I'm already freezing.



Plastic bags inside my shoes work as well as shoe covers in a pinch, and don't take any room at all.
