The last two days I've ridden to work in fairly cold weather. It made me wonder, how cold it too cold WITHOUT heated gear?
I know this might be relative based on where we live and such, but I'm still curious. |

What gear do you use?
I've been looking at the Fieldsheer Adventure/Hydrotour stuff...

Here is my winter gear.
Jacket: Joe Rocket Honda Endurance Textile Jacket http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/t...le_jacket.html Gloves: Tour Master Winter Elite http://www.newenough.com/gloves/insu...le_gloves.html Thermals: Military 100% Polypropylene. Top & bottom Pants: Jeans Boots: Wolverine work boots. LOL Over pants: I have two different ones. For extreme cold I have a pair of military 100% Nylon pants. They say "Extreme Cold" on them LOL. I have a lighter insulated pull over with suspenders I got from Academy for $25. Armor: Alpinestar *hybrid*. I call it a hybrid cause it's has the looks of both versions 1 and 2. ![]() ![]() Yes I do wear all of these at once sometimes. LOL Over my armor I usually wear one sweater. I did come home sunday from a trip and it was foggy and in the low 30's. I did fine about half the way, then finally started feeling the cold through my gloves. The jacket is nice but it fits rather large around the stomach/waist. |

So when it is cold do you find yourself riding differently? For example, when I'm cold I tense up.

I really don't like being ballooned up with all the added cover but it's better than being cold. LOL |

A guy on my cbr forum highly recommends Alpinestar WR-2 gore-tex gloves. I was going to get them but newenough doesn't keep much of alpinestar stuff at their main building so I didn't get to try them on. The guy said like most alpinestar gloves, the fingers are long.
