Cold Weather Riding

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

Went for the silk under-layer test ride yesterday, and they performed flawlessly! (If this is too much info for you, stop reading right now, or continue at your own risk. Not responsible for any damage to your delicate condition) [Insert laughing emoji here.] With the silk garments, wool socks, jeans, a long-sleeve wool pullover shirt, a Schott Perfecto jacket, gauntlet gloves and a full-face helmet, went on a 45 minute ride in the 51 degree mid-afternoon and was toasty warm the whole time.

My [primal] understanding is silk underwear works best when they are slid off slowly and sensually, especially with the help of another - or several - if you are so lucky. There is no shortage of heat, among a few things.

And then there's that, but this is the wrong forum for that!

For Christmas my sweetie gave me a set of silk under garments, similar to a long-sleeved T-shirt and sweat pants. Going to be 50 degrees and sunny today, so I'm gonna test 'em out this afternoon.

That sounds great. Might want to wear something over them, though.

I thought something was a little odd!
