Lee said:Hello!
Commuted to work yesterday (monday) and it was cold - I couldnt feel my fingers by the time I got
to work! Luckily my new "thinsulate" gloves had arrived which I purchased from ebay last week, so
this morning (Tuesday) I decided to give em a try.
Simply brilliant. My hands didnt get cold at all... however my legs and chest now feel the
cold :-D
It was quite chilly this morning, I wish I'd remembered to put on the full finger gloves I've got.
Ended up having my hands under the cold tap for a couple of minutes when I finally got to work. Must
remember to lay out the other gloves for Thursday...
Quoted message said:Can anyone suggest some good winter woolies that keep you warm in the dark days (preferably
cheapish cos im on a budget after all, Id gladly spend £100 on a jacket if I could afford
that much!)
I've always cycled in a short sleeve Endura top, in the winter I then put a pertex windproof over
that. However, that's not enough on the really cold days, so I used to just sling on a thin
Cotton Traders long sleeved rugby top type thing between the cycling top and the pertex and that
did the trick.
The main thing is keeping the wind out, so some cheep wind proofs is probably what you're after.
Check out your local outdoor or running retailer, they may have something suitable.
Cheers,
