rouxtjie Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 really cold weather like last weekend.... Riding shirtGillitArm warmersYellow first ascent jacket Bib + Leg warmers Nice and cozy, and the temp never went above 5deg at kingskloof by the end of our ride
The Ghost Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 Arms are sorted, its only the torso Im stressing about.
MONS Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Im guessing no more than 10 degrees when we start.I quite like the first ascent 'apple' jacket, but does it keep you warm? Its def wind proof so you do heat up in side - just keep yourself zipped up untill you finished with your ride. Its worked well so far - a def winner because I hate bulky, and heating up halfway through a ride is just a pain because you need to carry it if you remove it! Worth every cent! The Ghost 1
DJR Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 If it's really chilly, this is what I do, but I have to warm (I mean warn) you, that my mates sometimes tease me because I've got more layers than an onion.
