Keeping the cold out

[froggy128]

What would you recomend to help keep the cold out on winter runs?

[Rookie]

a heated vest is good for about £100, or on a budget, thin layers. Don't worry so much about your hands and feet, you want to keep your centre warm and your hands etc will get warm in turn.

[Twisted2004]

One of these, is a must!

No more cold patches on ur head or neck!

Wearing jeans with leather trousers or some good textile ones is good enough for me any weather.
I usually wear t-shirt, jumper and possibly light jacket under a bike jacket.
Gloves should be good enough for all year use.
Boots are a must.
A scarf is all I need around that area.

[it really is that quick]

a pair of tights under your leathers (trousers) and a couple of sheets of news paper under your jacket, should keep most of chills away and get a neck warm

and no i'm not a transvestite lol,used to work in a cold store and just about everyone wore tights under there trousers.

I have always used fleece long johns and a thin zip neck fleece top under my leathers. Bought them both years ago when I was climbing and they are still going strong.

I've also got an Oxford Chillout neck tube that's windproof, Gortex Daytona Roadstar boots, RST Carbopaw 3 finger gloves and some Klan heated inner gloves that I'll use when winter starts proper.

Deffinately, your hands and feet are your controls.

muffs are big gloves that stay on the bike and covwer controls and you wear your normal gloves underneat

I used to just wear several pairs of glvoes but this hampers operating controls, but muffs dont.

I love mine. I reckon they may be better than heated grips cos heated grips heat your palms but not your knuckles.

I wear two coats sometimes (leather biker jacket+ hi vis padded road worker jacket) and when its really cold I wear two pairs of trousers

buy a bike that spews out hot air by your legs. I know the tt600 does this but dunno if this is common with other bikes or not.

I'm not disagreeing that scientifically if your body core is warm then it helps keep the rest of you warm aswell. But if you do get cold it is the extremities that will suffer first and on a bike that is not good.

Thermal underwear, Kappa does some really good stuff (and if it's good enough for us Finns, it should be good enough for you Brits), albeit a bit pricey. Camping shops do that as well, as does M&S! The idea is to have them as thin as possible, so you can have two of them on if necessary.

Thermal socks, again camping shops should do the really thin ones, failing that, cashmere socks.

Silk undergloves under proper gloves should do the trick.

Balaclava under the helmet.

Knee warmers, which you can get from any dance shop!

Hi,

Heated grips really help I have Oxford ones (39.99) not the cheapest but the cheap ones we had were pants.

Good winter gloves - I like the cloven hooves

Linned textile trousers and jacket with jumper when its really cold.

Regards
Charlotte

hi,

I have not tried a heated vest but what puts me off is the fafaing about etc plugging it etc something else to put on and so on.

With heated grisp they are always there to use

We're not disagreeing with that fact.
