I’m mostly set for every 5F range from 105F to -10F except the boots. Getting by with Press & Seal on oversize shoes on the wet and/or below 25F days.

One great bit is this Bontrager convertible shell. Useless with the sleeves on when it’s above 30F unless I’m taking a snail’s pace.

Every now and then I try to layer up my wool collection to see how cold I can go without using that stupid Bont. A few weeks back it dipped down to 15 and I wore 1) PI AmFib Escape bibs 2) Craft windproof overpants 3) thin Specialized merino jersey 4) Icebreaker heavy merino base 5) Surly medium merino jacket 6) Woolrich heavy wool jacke 7) other stuff

Seven miles in, while I could still feel the icy air flowing through, I was basting. Drenched in sweat. Ready to pull over and take a nap. Gloves off, gaiter off, hat off, goggles off. Woolrich fully Batman’d, The other three unzipped halfway down my chest. “Ugh, and I gotta wear all this back home, too?!”
