Night ride testing the kit
First time i have really got to test the new kit in the weather conditions they should be used. I wore what i will be wearing throughout the winter this year tonight on a 40 mile bimble, was out for around an hour or so, just got back. Wore a pair of dodgy old tracky B's 1 tight t-shirt and a long sleeved next top, then over these my new textiles that do have a winter lining(non removable) The temp here apparently atm is 9 degrees, i find that hard to believe - it felt a lot colder. But needless to say the kit does its job and i was air and heat tight and i was happy as larry, still wore summer gloves though
 My Supertech boots are good for it too. So all in all a happy chappy.

Re: Night ride testing the kit
I have a 5am ride to croft in a fortnights time, and it was reading 3degrees on my cars gauge at that time yesterday morning
 Iam going to have to put on so many layers under my textiles, they are generally ok but dont zip together so the back rides up a little. My summer gloves arnt that great either in the cold.

Re: Night ride testing the kit
Im a textile convert, although i need to find a good spada stockist to get a jacket to zip to my spada podium trousers. They are toasty as a hot day in hell
