Awesome, I need to find cheap shoe covers. The shops here don't really discount winter gear it seems. Or it's sold out. I snagged a nice running winter jacket in the spring that will work great this winter. Wore it at 0°c with a thin shirt underneath easy, let's see if it will work at -25°c.

A pair of cycling boots would be awesome, but they're like $300 new!

Had to convert quick but -25 is about -13°F, which is what we'll see in January. That's the coldest I've done as well, and it only lasts really a couple weeks before returning to 0°F. But the wind. Ohh the wind, like 20mph steady. I did the same last winter with my work bought boots but mine were alloy toe this year I work indoors and don't want them smelling, so I'll have to get a dedicated pair.

Anyone see good deals on decent goggles? That's another want this year.
