Some people aren't as sensitive to cold as others. I've ridden with people who wear the same clothing in August and February. They swear they aren't cold but I can't believe it. And they aren't slathered down with embrocations, either. Just think of those "Polar Bear Club" people that swim in frozen lakes and rivers.

I definitely wear nice gloves in the cold months; the cold wind cuts like a knife.
