I bought a thin pair of camo gloves about ten years ago at Farm and Fleet (or was it Fleet Farm) for $3.99. It just said thinsulate on the tag. Wore them on all those cold and dark opening day hunts and never needed anything more. After the first winter I went back to look for some more. Never found any again. Started getting some holes, but I wear them when I ride.
Decided to put that high tech long underwear I bought for hunting to good use on my rides too. They work fine under my riding shorts. (Yes I know my underwear is showing) Smart Wool riding socks are plenty to keep my feet warm and my wife gave me a long sleeved jersey for Christmas.
Comfortable down to freezing (maybe lower) but I really need something more for my head. My universal fit helmet just doesn't expand enough to contain my enormous intellect if I cover it with a hat. I just wear the ear muff. Really need something thin to cover my whole head.
Found another race to add to my list of 'Racing for Real Men.' Guess I'll have to start marking those off someday. Will we ever get a Trans Wisconsin Race?
