Fall/winter riding gear and tips

[DeniseGoldberg]

Now moving on to headband/ear covers and toe covers...

On the toe cover front - in the cool but not cold weather I use toe warmers - Pearl Izumi Calientoes. When it gets colder I switch to Pearl Izumi AmFib shoe covers, and when it gets colder yet I add Heat Treat Toe Warmers. These are supposed to be placed inside your shoes, but my shoes are too tight to fit anything besides my feet & one pair of socks. So I stick the toe warmers to the top of my shoes and put my shoe covers over the warmer. Toasty!

And for my ears, I bought a pair of Ear Bags. They are kind of like ear muffs without the band. They just slip over your ears. And then on cold days I add a Pearl Izumi Microsensor skull cap under my helmet.
