Re: [RBW] Winter cycling pants

Hey Tim, it is science, though poorly worded representation of the concept. The scientific principle is that if we are working enough to generate extra heat (more than our core needs), our body releases the warm blood tot he extremities to both warm them up and cool it off so we don't overheat;

I kinda wonder about acclimation. I live in sunny California now, but I grew up in New Jersey, where it sometimes snows in the winter, and I went to college in Rhode Island, where it tends to be 33 degrees and raining in the winter. And I never acclimated. I was just always cold in the winter. Y'k

Re: [RBW] Winter cycling pants

Did you actually mean to say that? Because, you know, condescending to Anne and also incorrect. The notion of "if your core is warm, your extremities are warm" is not scientifically valid. It's folklore and ignores- for one thing- the science of thermal radiation and- for another- variation

Re: [RBW] Winter cycling pants

Good point, Anne, though the principle is still at work for you; however, people have different circulation systems and sitting still in a tent is different than a body in motion generating a lot more heat and pumping a lot more volume of blood from the core to the extremities. Also, we acclima

Re: [RBW] Winter cycling pants

I grew up in the mountains in upstate NY and have to agree, if your core is warm your extremities will be warm. I focused on layers on my core and in below freezing weather my hands feet and knees are still warm. If you have good core layering you shouldn't need super pants. On Oct 5, 2013 1:07 PM,
