For 45-63ish degrees I just wear knee warmers by Defeet called Kneekers. I wear them under my regular non padded loose fitting hiking shorts. Wool ones are available too from Defeet and Ibex. Kneekers are one size only, Ibex offers XS-L.
I know ... some people love knee warmers, some hate them. They can fall down, the number one cause for dislike. I've solved that issue though. I discovered that when the temps warm up in the 60's and I get some perspiration under the warmers, they stay up just fine. This got me thinking. I've always used Now brand Vegetable Glycerine(available in Whole Foods/Co-op/Natural Food type places and online) http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/PersonalCare/Products/M003277.htm?cat=Personal%20Care as a grease free hand moisturizer. It takes a while to absorb, so your hands feel a little "wet" far awhile, though not really. I put about a quarter sized drop in my hands and apply to my thighs and knees. Put on the warmers. Like magic, the knee warmers do not move. I've tested these on rides down to 50 so far, in very low humidity, and they stay put. Being long legged, I find knee warmers perfect because I've never seen knickers that I'd want to wear and are long enough. A few sizes do not fit all! For temps in the upper 40's to lower 60's though, all I need is something to keep my knees warm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
