Winter Riding Clothing

As you have been seeing I have talked about the upcoming of winter here in the Midwest in my blogs. And I have another thing that might help those bikers out there to stay active in this cold weather. Once the temperatures here in the Midwest drop below about 40 degrees it becomes increasingly more difficult to want to ride. Well just the way in which a person dresses our is geared up can make all the difference in the world to whether riding in this type of weather is enjoyable. And I’m here to help people figure out what the best things are to wear in certain conditions.

Well I think the best way to do it is, by working our way from temperatures that require just a thread more clothing than normal riding whether in which a bike short and jersey can be worn all the way down to temperatures close to 0 degrees. So for starters, when the temperature reaches about 50 degrees, I find it most comfortable to wear a light long sleeved breathable shirt that is bright so that traffic can see me while riding along with regular biking shorts. Oh and another thing that I forgot to mention is, that I believe that all of these clothing options are best when purchased under the brand of Pearl Izumi. Pearl Izumi offers almost any kind of outdoor clothing option with the focus of bikers in mind. If it were to be raining in this type of whether I would also suggest a light rain jacket or windbreaker that is water proof. One other key item for riding in any condition is eye wear which breaks the wind from hitting your eye. But onto the next area of riding. When the temperatures reach anywhere from 30-40 degrees I would recommend an under armor compression shirt and maybe even tights based on how you handle the cold. Another accessory that would be needed in this type of temperature e and anything colder would be shoe covers, and warm biking gloves. But finally the last range of conditions im going to talk about is that of colder than 30 degrees. I would suggest wearing many layers including the under armor tight long sleeved shirt, with a sweat shirt, and a wind breaker over that. Along with this package I would include bar covers which block wind from getting to your hands. So after seeing this I hope it will help you when you are going out next on your bike ride.
