True. Flannel lining isn't 'layering' I meant layering for the upper body. On Friday, 6 January 2017 16:02:08 UTC-8, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Great way to go! Except that flannel lines pants are't layering in the > sense that if conditions or needs change as you ride, you have an option to

Great way to go! Except that flannel lines pants are't layering in the sense that if conditions or needs change as you ride, you have an option to remove a layer (or add one). A more flexible approach is to wear long johns under your jeans. Get too hot because the wind dies, or sun comes out?

[RBW] Re: Casual warm clothing for casual bike rides

While still deciding on which long term pants to get, I needed something in a hurry for today's 40+ mile ride in 34 to 48 degree temperature range. Looked up bunch of local store websites. Target had flannel lined chinos. http://www.target.com/p/-/A-51244786 It cost me only $13 in the

I don't have a lot to contribute but I just grabbed a pair of Giro ProofMTB booties. The onslaught of rain hadn't Sambas soaked after a commute. These aren't fully waterproof but they keep my feet warm with a pair of Darn Tough socks even in the East Bay monsoon on Tuesday. They slip on easily,

Literally anything. Even their pants. You may/should try in person, but most of the pants i've seen have a gusseted crotch. On Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 12:42:01 AM UTC-5, Ash A wrote: > > @Belopsky- which Patagonia items do you find useful specifically for > riding? > > > > On Wednesday, 4

Thank you Garth. Railriders and Outdoor Research pants do look beginner friendly, price-wise. On Wednesday, 4 January 2017 07:13:40 UTC-8, Garth wrote: > > > > For pants, try Railriders if you want a roomy cut nylon pant of various > fabric weights. For less roomy try Outdoor Research,

Philip, What temperature ranges do you use it for? Did you have to wear a base layer under these pants in winter? Thanks, -Ash On Wednesday, 4 January 2017 16:48:04 UTC-8, Philip Kim wrote: > > Makers and Riders 3 season commute pants. -- You received this message because you are

Thanks so much everyone for the suggestions! I see pretty interesting options here for not only my mild winter, but also real winter/wet conditions. Interestingly none of these products showed up during my extensive googling. Pointers I got here are very helpful. On Tuesday, 3 January

The Ibex arm warmers that Riv sells are a worthwhile investment. Wore mine today in 40 degree temps. The more you ride in cold weather the better handle you'll have on what to wear for given conditions. Regards, Richard On Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at 12:42:19 AM UTC-5, Ash A wrote: > >

+1 for Foxwear. Being tall and skinny, it's hard to find pants that fit. Several years back, I spent about $200 with him for a jacket, pants, and hat. I'm still using all of that regularly now (well, I think I lost the hat). On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 12:25 PM, Jon Dukeman,central Colorado <

More and more I am liking my Patagonia clothing for all-around wear. Pricey? Yes. Made in USA? No, but I find their garments are worth it in long term - they will repair or replace if anything goes wrong. Their support is bar-none, IMO. For merino, I like Ibex, but Wool blend seems to be

For pants, try Railriders if you want a roomy cut nylon pant of various fabric weights. For less roomy try Outdoor Research, though many of theirs have a stretch nylon fabric . . For your feet, try plastic in your shoes. Not the whole foot, only the upper inside the shoe, not the bottom,

[RBW] Re: Casual warm clothing for casual bike rides

any time you get well below freezing, the air is dry, and protecting yourself from the wind is the most important thing. In cold and high-humidity, especially in mid-low 30s, you need to layer up extra heavy, because this is "penetrating cold" - your body has to work harder to warm up the

My vote is for some lightweight thermals under your jeans (tried and true). Wool is the best imo, but I use cotton/poly blends all the time without issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Have you tried moleskin pants (Orvis) or perhaps, less expensively, Duluth's firehose pants? Also, try long johns under your jeans or these. Think in layers. Base layer, insulation layer, wind and water proof layer, in any combination. If 40 is a cold as you're getting, you'll be fine with any

[RBW] Re: Casual warm clothing for casual bike rides

you want the same basic clothing philosophy as any cold weather outdoor activity - wicking base layer to keep your skin dry (merino is awesome), middle insulation layer to keep you warm (and weight as you can peel as you warm up), outer shell to keep wind and precipitation out. Breathable

*Legs:* For casual looking stuff I use MUSA long pants and merino wool medium weight baselayers. I always size up a size or two in merino wool as it will shrink sometimes if 100% merino, even from just washing in cold water. *Torso/Arms:* Merino layers of varying weights, with a J waterproof,
