monty221ti Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 hi there, What do you ride in in the winters? here in Denmark it´s about -4, so it´s to cold to ride in shorts or pants, and a sweat:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 How much do those skins usually retail for? Not sure where to look! I like how warm they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33th3tr33 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Shorts and t-shirt, all year round. If it's too cold then a thin jumper on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskooltrials Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 This is what i wear at work and it keeps me warm, gets down to -30 or so in certain areas of the warehouse. It may be a bit bulky for riding in though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a uniqlo top, you get it from uniqlo, so the prices are on there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you want a uniqlo top, you get it from uniqlo, so the prices are on there too. Cheaper than I was expecting aswell, but do they work? Have you got personal experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Yes. They are nice and toasty warm. If you wear one of those, a t-shirt and a hoodie, that's all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I don't ride in the winter only because of there being no way to keep my hands warm. Cold hands = no feel of the brake = a feeling of total insecurity. I've tried leather gloves and all sorts of combinations but found nothing that will keep me warm enough to ride. It's actually a pain in the arse when such a silly thing stops you from riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I just wear a tee,shorts and a body warmer if needed.. Seems to do the job. But then again I seem to be a freak of nature that doesnt really feel the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Mallinson Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Shorts and t-shirt, all year round. If it's too cold then a thin jumper on top. Same for me i get freezing at the start for obvious reasons but as soon as i get warmed up i start sweating, i get too hot in jeans so i wear shorts all year round, i don't wear gloves anyway but even if i did i'd still get too hot, I'm not fat either. Long sleeves don't help me either i just end up rolling up the sleeves and it becomes pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeves annoy the hell out of me, I'll wear a jumper for 5 mins until I'm too hot and then I'll be ok without. And as for trousers, I'm not a general fan. I wear shorts at work and out of work, just feel too restricted. I've never had a pair of comfortable gloves either, and don't have the same feel of brakes with them on. I've not exactly got any natural insulation either with my high metabolism, I'm a skinny bugger but just get on with things once I've warmed up.

isitafox Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I too am in the school of sweating like an animal within 2 mins of doing anything. I can't wear a coat no matter what the weather as I just end up pouring with sweat, I do wear gloves though the missus would prefer if I didn't as after a ride they're soaking wet and absolutely stink the house out, along with my shoes, helmet, etc.....

Exactly why I leave mine outside everyone elses room which is 2 floors away from mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
