cold legs and arms

[rodgy-dodge]

Originally I am from the warm southern climes of Hartlepool - so therefore I'm a monkey hanger.

Hi fellow Hartlepudlian

I have castelli knee and arm warmers, they are excellent for this time of year. However I think I am going to need something more substantial as it gets colder.

I've Googled 'Walter the Softy' but there isn't a decent image. I'll pop up into the loft later for an old Dennis the Menace annual and take a photo of an appropriate piccie.

Cycling in the cold? S*D that let me unwrap that

Seriously though ......

Yes arm and leg warmers or like me i use an old pair of running tights on my legs.Wish i had the arm warmers today as it was to warm for the windproof but i needed up wearing it as the commute home was through dense fog and i wanted to be in hi viz mode.
Sweated my blos off all the way home.

Well I bought the Helly Hanson but I don't look much like that in it...

Also bought some sock guy arm warmers - which seem very snug but it's not been cold enough to wear them the last few days. (The mrs gave me a funny look when I tried them on though!). And I bought some waterproof cycling trousers which are great for a ride of an hour or two.
Thanks for the help folks.

Rode 100 km yesterday.

Wind was blowing at about 12 mph and the ambient was at 16 C ish. Temperature same as my company keeps the office.

I was riding a 20" shopping bike so didn't wear roadjersey, just a T Shirt with jogging shorts over my Lusso Pro gel shorts. Ankle socks and trainers.

Lovely day. 66.5 miles in 6 hours 4 minutes.


PS. BTW, what are "Arm warmers"????

If you are around in the 80s, there was an item called leg warmers. They are pretty much the same as that, but for.... arms

Sorry, too easy

Natural flesh coloured Tubigauze so I don't look a wimp as I hurtle past some whippersnapper in his black lycra 'arm warmers'.

No wonder dogs bark at you.

It's a case of experimenting until you find the clothes that suit you. The good news is there's plenty of choice.
