Friday, Rode in today in 17f. The wind was a lot more manageable. W10mph. Gust of 17. Not too bad. But I put the Sporthill XC pants over my workpants. And that worked good. . Gave me extra protection from the cold and was totally comfortable. Those pants continue to amaze me with their abilities.Yesterday I had my usual get-up of the workpants with the leg warmers over them, which had worked before with me down to about 15f. But yesterday the wind was blowing so hard (35mph, 20f), that it blew right thru the exposed area of the workpants. The part that wasn't protected by the leg warmers. Needless to say it started to freeze my you-know-what off. And I stopped to stick one of the cotton work gloves I had down there to provide some protection. Live and Learn. But it’s good to know that the XC’s will provide me with more warmth, and are easy to put on and take off. The aftn ride was great. Sunshine, 32f. Light tailwind. In the aftn I wear the XC's by themselves and they're great for cold weather.
