I'm the same! I worked construction quite a bit outside during my younger days and it never bothered me. Nowadays I get cold easily. A low windshield is out of the question for me! I am not real happy with my FXR suit either as I get cold in my chest quite often on cold days and I have a mid height windshield. I wear under armour of MWW cold something or other underwear, a thinner turtle neck and usually a sweater over that plus my Tech Vest. I also wear a balaclava for my neck and face plus of course my jacket. My legs/feet seem fine and I rarely get cold there, it's just my chest, which I hate! How old are you guys? I'll be 55 in May. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm 65 and am more selective nowadays as far as riding in real cold weather. Three years ago it was -42 and we rode in that with nowhere to stop. If its below -20 I'm staying put. I really don't get cold but it's to stop and have a trailside break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold doesn't really bother me, still wear a T-Shirt and my FXR or CKK suits keep me warm. Hands are good with the just the basic gloves. Fuck I only wear my AC spring jacket with a T-Shirt when going out non sledding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Citiot Canadian eh - only ride when temps are near freezing or above - otherwise it’s too cold and you stay home. Love it when’s it cold in Canada - we have the trails to ourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good greenfield project I'm working on. Let me see if I need to put in a good word for the best light bulbs for the plant when the time comes. It's the best I can do for a pal.

Wildboer Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Looks like Old Forge already regained the snow they lost from rain, with more snow to come! Next week should be great conditions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. It's not that I can't keep warm by dressing right. My problem is with exposed skin. 5 years ago I could get away without wearing gloves to do quick tasks when it's cold. Now my hands get cold much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
