In New England winters I like to ride with layers, typically: 1. Rainlegs - outermost layer - http://www.rainlegs.com/en/home 2. trousers (nylon, denim, wool, or wool blend) with pant leg straps at the ankles . 3. Baselayer- Patagonia Capilene 3 Midweight Boot-Top Bottoms .(currently on sale) http://tinyurl.com/mzr7kyj <http://www.rockcreek.com/patagonia.rc;jsessionid=DFA96DE266BB7A92F59F8ECBEB9A0E74.worker3> On Thursday, July 3, 2014 4:20:56 PM UTC-4, lungimsam wrote: > > What is a good way to protect the knees and thighs from the wind in winter? > > Here's my deal, and why I need something to protect my knees and thighs > during winter riding. > > Last winter, while riding 30-60 degrees F, about 30 miles into rides, my > upper thighs started to get tight and feel funky.
