Anyone else normally find Windstopper too hot?
Not today though, eh!

Sometimes, depends on layering underneath. Was a bit nippy to start this morning though. Wore a skull cap for the first time in the UK and was glad of it.

Shame windstopper doesn't actually stop the wind from blowing! No snow here (hants/berks) but plenty wind and chilly.

northface summit series base layer and a rab generator pullover.
toasty....... 8)

windstopper or other types of soft shell are too warm for me.

My wife reminded me that we were whizzing around FOD this time last year in short sleeves!?

Global cooling?

Normally yes, but have spent the whole winter in thermal base plus NF wind stopper top which have worked very well in combo. Wind chill today was extreme (only walking dogs). Nice to get some use out of the windstoppers!
