The point where my tights end and my booties start sometimes gets a little cold. I put a sandwich bag on the front of my ankle/lower leg. It works great. Cover only the part facing the wind, so the sweat will get out. It will certainly be an improvement, give it a try. If it still is not good enough you need more insulation thickness. Let us know how you make out, if you like this I think it will be very popular! You may have invented the next best winter cycling tip!
