As usual Robert, nice write-up, photos, and Haiku. My wife and I were out

I give this answer to this question every year.
The best winter active pant is from XC Sporthill, their cross country ski
pant. Period, no debate. :-)

I use these for riding, xc-skiing, and hiking into the 20s. They last for

Hey Mojo - these look great. I always like seeing MD-Tall sizes! And I like
the tapered leg and slim cuff.
Do you have both versions of the pants? Is one heavier/thicker than the
other?

Hi Kieran,
I have only the tradiitonal Sporthill XC pant and love love them. They
breathe very well and block much but not all wind. They are warm when wet.
I am leery of clothes that block the wind. If I want wind block, I add a
wind shell on top.
Thanks for bringing up the Long sizing. I am

I do ride with Noodle bars at saddle height on my bicycle in question.
However, the amount of torso angle I ride with can vary significantly

Agreed. I should have written leading or front edge. Especially when
mounting tire wipers, they should go on the trailing (front) edge of the
fender, so they don't get sucked into the fender when bigger debris hits
them... I apologize for any confusion.

Paul,
I too use Noodles at B17 height. Hard efforts in the drops and a flat to
semi-flat back *never* have me thinking about my butt. Its always my lungs
and legs that are screaming.

I used a slightly wider tape for the second (top) layer. The first layer fits
down into the slot above the spokes, the second does a better job of filling in
the gap between the top of the rim and the bottom.

I do similar to Eric. My secret weapon is Gaffer Tape. It's tough canvas
like rim tape. It's removable, and you can rip it lengthwise to whatever
width you want, similar to duct tape. A good roll of gaffer tape at your
hardware store might be $25, though. It's probably enough for 30 rims.
Thanks for your input, Mojo. Much appreciated.

Time for one last correction. Debris hits the leading or _rear_ edge of the
fender and either must go through or be slow enough that it falls back onto
the road without collapsing the fender. Tire wipers are mounted on the
