As for wool socks, I find that thicker isn't always warmer either. They just end up making my shoes too tight.
I had been wondering that about my leg warmers. I think I am ok if my calves start sweating I remember last spring I was trying to decide the difference between them and my Mid-Zero Sugoi tights as far as the temperature range for them. My tights I can't wear lower than 40 degree temps, regardless of what they are called.

Good point about the socks, even with quite thin socks I have to be careful about leaving them adjusted as loosely as possible to prevent hot spots/numbness. Thinking back to last night I don't think I actually had wool socks on to begin with. My upper body was fine with the two wool layers.

Crankin, I will try the saline nasal spray. This is only a problem when the temps drop to the lower 60's, never a problem when it is warmer. I am unsure if the rhinitis tweaks my asthma or the colder air itself - probably both. Time to find my rescue inhalor...
