Cold weather clothing

Where do you get cold weather clothing online? Any good sites?

I have been riding in shorts with a ton of layers since most of my clothing is for warmer weather
but it's been getting cooler out with highs in the 30's to low 40's and today 8-10" of snow is
expected. I need to equip myself a little better if I want to continue to ride.

Maybe I can convince Santa to get me some stuff!

Always keep your eyes open for end of the season sales and closeouts for winter gear from online
sites and your lbs.

Layers. Think layers...

I know this is gonna sound terribly Canadian of me, but I ride in shorts until it's below 0C (32F).
I wear a couple jerseys and a vest.

I admit, the snow is another problem all together, but it usually just means one layer of tights and
a Goretex jacket. I don't even change my gloves.

At around -10C, I'm in the same clothing, but I make sure that I have heavier gloves on, a helmet
liner and possibly a facemask if it's really windy. By the time it's down to -25C, that's when I'm
worried about really layering my clothes on.

Well, even if you don't know what cold weather riding is, at least you're still riding.

That said, I'd rather it was 25C out here and sunny. I may ride in the extreme cold, but I have a
lot less fun than in the summer.

As for where to get stuff, all of the stores here just carry that stuff as a matter of course. Maybe
find a Canadian friend and get them to send it down.

You might think that's cold lizard, but it's Col d'Lizard,,,,, from France I think ;-)

If you have the $$$ Patagonia's got great gear and Nashbar's good for <$

Rode Lynn Woods tonight in 2" of snow -- the helmet light's not the hot setup in falling snow. Used
the bar light only ;-)

Good luck pushin' thru 8-10" !!

Thanks for all the suggestions.

LBS, Nashbar, Pricepoint, Outdoor store, ColdLizard and IceBike for reviews.

Might pick up a pair of Polartec 100 tights from ColdLizard, nice review on them on IceBike and
under $50

Unofficially around 8" of snow fell. It should be interesting!!!

I recently bought a windstopper vest from these guys -> www.beyondfleece.com and they sell jackets
as well. Great product, custom fit, and very reasonable price compared to big name brands like
NorthFace and Patagonia. I commutted with a similar jacket with pit-zips one winter along the front
range of Colorado (before I lived in the real colorado) and it kept me very warm. Fleece is nice and
the windstopper stuff is great for long downhills.
