Dumbest bit I ever bought for Riding was a Pair of Coolmax Shorts- Knee length for winter riding but they were Bib Shorts. They should change the name of this material to FREEZE Max. Why they were knee length I will never know as they took the brunt of the cold- even on the hottest day of the year on a local ride. That material does not keep you warm and in fact lowers the body temperature where it touches by good few degrees.
