Staying warm

[buellbabe]

I just take the lining out of my Revit trou and wear them over my jeans to work and back...nice and warm and only a moment to slip on and off.
At weekends... the Revit are waterproof and the thermal lining keeps me snuggly warm... ;-)

The first time I wore all my new gear I had a Triumph Speed Triple for the weekend and the pouring rain was NOT gonna deter me!
Really impressed with my trou, gloves and boots... worth spending the $$.
Cos if you are warm and dry then bad weather is not a deterrent to riding eh? (well within reason...)

Dragging up an old thread here, but, I too am struggling with staying warm.. so, I was reminded last week that I have a pocket warmer! Well, out it promptly comes, and hey, presto! I'm not cold anymore! I have put it into a cloth bum bag I had lying around, so I can clip it where-ever I wish... almost! LOL I wonder how many other people use these little things. I can't remember where I got it from, but here is one on good ol' Tardme...

A pocket warmer?!

The Q&A on that link imply you set fire to it... you fill it with lighter fluid... it has some kind of wick?

I've never seen one of these and I have to say it sounds rather hazardous to keep in your pocket!

Here is what I do to keep warm if on a long very cold condition ride.

Polyprop top and bottom, a long sleeve tshirt, then a polar fleece on top, then I get a few pages from a newspaper and cover my chest with it, I may even tape some around my thighs. then Back protector (great for keeping your back and kidneys warm. Then good quality jacket and pants with a good liner in them, oh and a proper windproof neck/chest warmer, and a lighter one to go over my head.

Then of course proper warm waterproof gloves and waterproof boots with two pair of socks.

layering is the key.

I did the Desert rd at 6.30 am in the snow n ice and was fine, not the nicest ride but I was warm.

Yeah, it gets filled with lighter fluid and has a special gauze which you heat with a lighter until it glows, then put the lid on and back it goes into it's pouch and you are away laughing. It doesn't have a 'flame'. I've used it for about 5 years and have only burnt myself on it twice... It heats up a lot and you shouldn't put it next to your skin! It is intended to simply put in your pocket. It does have a chemical smell to it though...
