Today I wore:
Head:
Helmet, Light weight balaclava, with midweight balaclava over top. Ear band over ears and one also worn inverted over nose, mouth.
Wore Visorgogs over eyes. Thought i needed them because of strong wind and snow. WRONG!!! They were nice until I heated up and they fogged badly. I couldn't see. Had to remove them 15 minutes into ride. I am so glad i have contacts this season. So much nicer to deal with covering the face. No fogging to worry about.
Torso
Underarmour base layer Performance Winter Cycling Jersey, Lightweight unlined vest. Gore Tex Cycling jacket.
Legs
Nashbar Epic Cycling shorts, Foxwear powershield tights. AMPK2 midweight tights.
Feet.
Heavyweight Wool socks X 2,LIght cycling socks X 1, Woverine Thinsulate Hiking Boots.
Hands
Lightweight Fleece gloves Heavyweight Thinsulate Convertible mittens/gloves.
Conditions
8 F. 20 mph NOrth wind. Heavy Snow. Poor visiblity.
Notes:
Still can't tolerate midweight balaclava. Thing is just too hot this year for some reason. 45 minutes into ride, i removed midweight balaclava and put just the lightweight and earbands on.
Rode 1 hr 35 minutes.
15 miles. Very slow going in wind and snow.
