Wind protection
When the weather gets cooler here in GA the wind picks up. Bibs and knee warmers are fine but I need some wind protection for the boys. Is there some sort of wind brief that can be worn under bibs or is there another way to combat this problem? Once I move to tights there is no issue.

Two words- Peter Heater
A second layer helps as well. I have worn compression shorts (no chamois) over my bibs and much to the chagrin of our community will use Under Armour compression shorts under (the crowd gasps) my bibs.

I've used a headsweats cap placed down the front of my bibs/shorts. Does a good job of blocking the wind without going to full tights which would be too warm on some days.
You could probably cut a piece of fabric from an old shirt or something to do the same thing. I would just be sure it's a "performance" fabric, and not cotton.

If it's cold enough for me to need wind protection for my groin I probably need it for my legs too, so I just wear my windproof tights. Windproof front with full coverage to my waist and a breathable back so I don't overheat.
