Cold Feet

[SalsaMTB]

You'll be amazed at the difference toe wamers make. I feet used to freeze before I tried them. Since using them, warmth is no longer an issue for me feet! Let us know your experience with them if you give them a try!

Gaerne makes some nice winter cycling shoes. Some riders in Pittsburgh swear by them. They ride year round and try all kinds of stuff.

I wear SmartWool and lighter weight cycling socks with winter shoe covers over the shoes.

Hands are covered with Patagonia glove liners with PI winter gloves. Don't remember the PI model.

Torso covered with tee, thermal top, long sleeved cycling jersey, and old Performance rain jacket that is breathable and vented.

Bottoms covered with padded shorts, tights, and bottoms to Performance rain jacket.

This does just fine in temps down to lower 20's. Chemical warmers work, too. I have found riding the mtb makes staying warmer easier than road riding. You are going slower thus have less air flow to remove body heat especially from extremities.

When you go inside, you really want to delayer to prevent your clothing from getting too wet with sweat.

Glad to read you are riding in cold weather. It is invigorating.
