Cold Weather Clothing

We're supposed to get 8 inches of snow tomorrow so more `clothing' testing will be delayed for a few days.

Where I live one is either climbing or descending.  Nothing is remotely flat, or even `flattish.' Today's training session is the classic example.

A 12.2 mile descent with 2,000 feet elevation loss. At 6014 ft elevation I started out in a grey cloud fog, making any eye glasses or eye gear useless (lenses fogged up on inside and had obscuring rain drops on outside).

Descending at 42 mph into a 12 mph headwind at 43F on wet (though excellent) road made for careful going. The National Weather Service [url="https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_windchill[/URL] windchill calculator puts the windchill figure at below 30F. Which I don't accept. Perhaps the rain and fog, being wet, made it feel more like in the mid-teens.

I wore

• Armwarmers made from woolen tube sox ($6 compared to $35 brand armwarmers).
• A merino wool long sleeve jersey.
• Two merino wool short sleeve jerseys.
• My favorite low tech Giordana clear plastic rain jacket (and wind shell).
• Two pairs of gloves (Coolibar fingerless and a no-name full fingered wool set).
• A balaclava with a thin cotton skull cap.
• Polypropylene leggings.
• And a simple pair of Aerotech Design shorts.

All tight and tucked for the extended descent (37 minutes).

On the climb back up the balaclava, second pair of gloves came off. And I unzipped the jerseys. Still no glasses.

As I got above 5,200 feet (and colder and foggier) the second pair gloves came back on and I zipped up. 

It was quite a fashion show.
