So I'll start using booties and even switch to winter boots before changing from regular long tights to AmFib winter tights.
Ditto with hands and upper body, but not quite as obvious, there the wind chill on my chest is more of a factor.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
