Winter gear must haves?

[Dajerseyrat]

those are both very popular budget winter wear, glad they worked out.
My legs can handle the cold so I won't be wearing the pants till well below freezing. I have another pair which is perfect for right around freezing. I don't have the jacket, but know some who does and it looks really well made. How did you find the arm lengths?

edit, no I am not drinking those three cases of OH already, just poor grasp of grammer

arms were fine..

i have those pants also - for when it gets really cold! i wore a light base layer top and similar jacket for road riding.
worked great, although i picked the wrong gloves...should have gone lobster, cause no sun.

Do you think you can use those pants (Baleaf Men's Windproof Cycling Fleece Thermal) for teens/low 20's temperatures? I'm good with shorts and my castelli leg warmers to temps in the mid 20's, but below that, I'd like to have another option.

Go for a winter cycling vest. I promise you, it'll be the most versatile piece of hear you own....

yes - they are loose fit, so i usually add a compression layer underneath. I think i've worn them lower, with a snowboard shell over them. doesn't happen often, and i'm not that committed!!

Being a wimp I wore leg tights and a windbreaker jacket. But I passed some guy near the end of Zion who looked like Forrest Gump on a bike with huge saddle bags. He was dressed pretty much like you. His hair and beard were just like this:

You should photoshop your Martys fat bike repair guy, I saw that in the shop the other day and thought that was brilliant.

It was a slow winter. I have a pile of art I did for all the employees.

Pat, do you find that because they're a little baggy there's a danger of them snagging on your chain ring?
