other cold weather gear
10/28/04 at 13:46:23

a week or so ago i left the house in jeans, chaps and shirt, leather jacket and gloves for the ride to work but i found i didn't have enough layers.
at lunch i went to target to buy some cheap turtleneck shirts(mens section) and my boss had me buy a knit hat. he told me to cut the top seam off and it was to be pulled over the head and worn just around the throat, or pulled up over the chin.

very toasty! especially in the policemans style leather jacket i have.

do you have any tips or tricks or special cool/cold weather gear?

As far as I do, I just put several layers of clothes (long johns underwear, leather pants, turttle necks, etc.) when riding in the rain and a set of dry clothes in a waterproof backpack. Wink

I keep office shoes at work and ride with my rain boots on, so wet feet are no problem Grin

. When ready to go home, I check the the wet clothes (in case the rain got through my leather jacket and pants) and, if dry, put them on and off I go 8).
rain is not an issue for me, I just take extra care when riding and at braking. 8)
Ride safe,

These work great under my jeans / leathers. If it is really cold, I'll double up on socks and have a deal similar to your sock cap that goes around my chin and throat.

Long johns, wool, leather, mitten gauntlets rather than gloves, with a pocket warmer inside each one. Love the Internet -- they are still available: http://www.remogeneralstore.com/online/special_item.cfm?f=6&PLU=1116

They used to be called Hippo Hands. Polar Hands Myself, I have a real hand problem with cold. Gloves don't work for me in the cold because they restrict circulation. I usually prefer gauntlets too.
