how do those Buffalo Teclite shirts size up ?
My 38" shirt fits my 38" chest. They are quite fitted, but need to be as they should be worn against the skin or with just a base layer.
Nothing special here just thin layers and insulation around the neck wrists and ankles. Went out the other day in a summer base layer under a winter base layer under an ordinary jersey under a windshell. Toasty 🙂
Sometimes pack a spare pair of gloves cold hands are my nemesis
Been keeping nice and toasty with my new North Face Thermoball body warmer (new "down like" primaloft tech). Surprised how warm it is for the size and so far been ok when damp. Not got soaked yet though.
I'm waiting for Endura to do a road version of their MT 2 500, 60k breathable, should mean I can get away with just a base layer, instead of having to layer up to soak the sweat up.
I tend to accept I'm going to get wet nd concentrate on staying warm (so that involves wearing a decent windproof). Personally I prefer more layers and a thinner, but breathable, jacket, and keep moving. At least this way you can get rid of moisture inside the shell faster.
On a social ride I'll sacrifice some breathability for warmth when stopped and wear a thicker shell.
Saying all that, it's rare for me to stay out much more than a couple of hours in freezing temps.
