Rode today at 36F. Thick wool socks inside light leather keens. Feet were
fine. It rarely gets below 20F here. Below 30, I add booties over the
shoes. Wooly warm tights are excellent, and they won't roast you if temps
rise during the ride. Best way to get warm fast is climb a hill, of course.

Wool longjohns for the legs, works pretty good. It's kind of like
dressing for some cross country skiing- you don't don't need super heavy
insulation, except maybe on extremities (hands, feet, etc).

For context, I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. We've already had temperatures
down to -10 this year, and I'll ride down to -20 or -30.
Pants and tops are the easy part. Down to zero or a bit lower, I'm
comfortable in a Sport Hill jacket and a single, medium-weight long-sleeved
merino wool shirt. It
My "go-to" clothing in the Winter - Mix n match variety of wool and
man-made layers:
UnderArmour (heavy or thin, short sleeve or long, mock or
turtleneck...depending on mercury)
Smartwool socks (again, of varying thicknesses)
Mountain HardWear Windstopper fleece jacket (WITH pit zips... a must

All good choices so far.
I'll add - Bemidji Woolen Mills heavy wool shirt. Although a Filson
wool works well, too.
Red Wing boots. Can't remember the model, but list member Tim clued
me in on these last year. The best I've used.
Riv wool usually under everything with MUSA pants and REI wind pa
I wear all man made fibers myself, as I find even merino wools to be itchy.
Craft Pro Zero base layers are fantastic below 60. The seamless rubbed
design fits like a glove without lycra. The best I've used by far.
Defeet Un D shurts above 60.
If I wear I jersey, it's a Pearl Izumi Kodiak.

Hmm I dunno. It's a slippery slope til one day you wake up wearing a
Schwalbe 'Marathon Winter' codpiece (we've all been there!).

I wear wool socks, wool mittens, wool watch cap, and when it really gets

For commutes to/from work, I usually just wear my work clothes (jeans/

off with a heavy wool sweater, scarf and wool cap under my helmet.
For light rain I'll choose a lighter weight shirt and sweater and
layer it under a Burley r
