The more I read about it, the more I think we all have our own journey to find out what works for us in cold weather. I'm finding I have a higher cold tolerance than any rider I know who isn't obese.

The other day, it was 23 °F, felt like 16, pretty calm. I wore:

• Lined pants, gathered at the cuffs. Regular underwear.
• T-shirt
• midweight fleece sweatshirt
• Vented fleece riding jacket
• Ski helmet
• Wynd glasses
• Heavy mittens
• Snow boots

Toes were a bit cold, I need to add heat packs in the boots, I guess. Hands were sweaty, I could've gotten away with ski gloves. The heated socks inside hiking boots works better, but I only have one pair of heated socks and since I suppose they're only good for so many washings, I don't use them every time out.

I was riding the eFatty, mostly unpowered. That 80 lb. bike is a LOT of work to ride unpowered. Tires were set at 15 psi at garage temp, so maybe 12 psi when I got out there. I was glad to have the warp drive at the ready for a few short climbs.
