Hi folks. Hopefully some people have some ideas for me.
I am in Toronto and want to start biking in the winter. Outside of
proper tires which I can either purchase or make with stainless steel
screws, I'm interested in getting some opinions on winter cycling
clothing.
Pants - insulated? What goes underneath? What kind? I'm used to the
tight black long pants, but the ones I currently have are not insulated
so I'd freeze my future off.
Top - Probably the most important, as this is core heat. I'll be
assuming I'll bike to -10'C, which is nasty cold, so I need some great
ideas to keep warm, yet dry. Seeing as I sweat a lot, keeping dry is
important to me.
Hands - insulated gloves specifically for cycling?
Feet - I have clipless pedals, and my current mountain bike boots are
not insulated. What should I wear without buying new boots, and
without looking like a dork?
Head & Face - I have no idea.
Location - As I said I am in Toronto. Cold weather, on a mountain
bike. I usually shop at MEC, but thier selection isn't the greatest,
which is why I am posting here. Any recommendations for a supplier
would be great.
Gotta get out into the winter. I look forward to any ideas.
Cheers
