Obviously one can drink something warm and put on a scarf etc. Or quit da job and get back to sleep ;-)
But I was wondering how you guys deal with that.
I would like to preserve body heat while being ‘motionless’. How can I approach this practically? Maybe I need to shield my midlayer with a non-breathable jacket? Down, something technical ... ? How to layer / adjust layering for these inactive moments? Any tips on how not to cool of too rapidly? Thanks!
I dress a little heavier then most and ride at a lower intensity to prevent and minimize sweating...I also carry some extra layers with me in my backpack just in case I find myself in a situation where I would have to be outside for longer than expected. ..I also avoid cycling specific clothing because it is not designed to keep you warm if you stop moving. I wear regular outdoor winter clothing. I always bring along an insulated vacuum bottle with hot drink.
