OK – sweaman2 beats me on todays temps. Minus 15°c is cool. I was out in minus 5°c this morning with my new gear from Wiggle and before I went I was a bit worried.
The merino top was the M150 – didn’t realise until I opened it that it was rated for “mild” temps. I couldn’t believe how thin the Roubaix Zero bib/tight thing was – but I decided not to try and fit thermal underwear layer underneath as well. And the DHB Signal jacket was also really thin. I thought I’d be freezing.
So I went out with just the DHB merino long sleeve top, signal jacket and 3/4 Zero bib/tights. And I was warm everywhere except a little chilly on my shins (but not really a problem).
Feet were warm in my summer Shimano shoes (below ankle but) with a pair of heavy winter overshoes. Hands were warm with more than comfortable with SealSkinz All Weather gloves.
@itsmygame – what kind of weather are you riding in ? I think someone mentioned that if you have everything too tight it can reduce circulation – any chance of loosening your shoes a little ?
