Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Well I've finally determined that I am crazy

Same principle for any cold weather activity, and another thing folks have a
hard time wrapping their brains around is that you don't want to be /warm/,
you want to be 'comfortably cool' in your layers.

Sweat is an enemy few people think about, and if you feel warm you're going
to sweat. Thus, dress to stay right there at 'I'm cool, but comfortable' and
you won't sweat.

I'm starting to get ready for my first winter here in Virginia.  I
have a balaclava and some good ski gloves already.  The gloves have a
zippered pouch on the back of the hand for those hand warmer packets.
Hopefully they'll do the job.  I also just ordered some a Frogg Toggs
rain suit that'll help with the wind (and the rain).  I'm holding out
on a wind shield for now.

We'll see how cold I get on a three hour ride down to Roanoke next
weekend.  Any advice?

One doesn't need a lot of dexterity to activate clutch or brake levers, so mittens are ideal, because they are better at keeping one's hands warm than gloves. 
It helps to have a fairing type windshield also.

This year I am thinking in trying the heated gear, no because I can't handle the cold, but because it is a bit bulky. Besides, it takes me the twice as much time to get on the bike.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Well I've finally determined that I am crazy

2010-11-08 Thread Allen Thomas 
I have a set of cabellas wind shear 3 fleece. It is lightweight, impervious to 
wind and amazingly warm for what it is. Wearing it over a pair of jeans and 
under my textile jacket with the liner removed makes me sweat at 50,  keeps me 
warm down to 40, and is a little cool in the 30s. Mind you my commute is an 
hour at 50 to 75MPH. Now if only my insulated leather gauntlets did as well.

I've got some cheap winter gloves that I bought from cycle gear that have
taken me down into the mid 30s for rides up to about 30mins or so. My
problem is my knees. I can never keep them warm enough.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Well I've finally determined that I am crazy

2010-11-07 Thread Jeremy Kindy 
I just got a Tourmaster Transitions Series 2 jacket and rode yesterday in
about 45 deg F weather.  Core temp was fine, head was fine, fingers got a
little chilly on a ~1 hr ride.  Gloves are Texport Hipora? with thinsulate.
A bit bulky, but seem to do the job pretty well.

I love the jacket now, we'll see about the summer when it gets into the 90s.

well done. The key for winter riding is to wear the proper  
clothing. I have done 27-28 F, with the forecast saying "Feels  
like 24F". I admit it was dam cold, but you just need a good pair  
of winter gloves.
This year I am thinking in trying the heated gear, no because I  
can't handle the cold, but because it is a bit bulky. Besides, it  
takes me the twice as much time to get on the bike.


I hope you are warm up already. Clearly you feel your fingers

One doesn't need a lot of dexterity to activate clutch or brake levers, so 
mittens are ideal, because they are better at keeping one's hands warm than 
gloves. 
It helps to have a fairing type windshield also.

Pushed through it and got over here to my Dad's place. Had some

  I'm gonna eat a warm lunch - including hot chocolate.

Joey,

well done. The key for winter riding is to wear the proper clothing. I have
done 27-28 F, with the forecast saying "Feels like 24F". I admit it was dam
cold, but you just need a good pair of winter gloves.
This year I am thinking in trying the heated gear, no because I can't handle
the cold, but because it is a bit bulky. Besides, it takes me the twice as
much time to get on the bike.

I hope you are warm up already. Clearly you feel your fingers since you are
typing. :)

Javier.
