Not sure how many cyclists are around. Anyways, what functional but weirdo looking gear do you use once it starts getting colder?

    I’ve tried Gerbing gloves, but they’re just not working for me; I keep blowing fuses. I’m going to try Hippo Hands and heated grips this year (…but I need longer clip-ons for the heated grips; I think that they’re intended more for adventure bikes). I typically have a Klim balaclava under my helmet which is mostly good enough. Pinlock inserts are fantastic when you can get them to seal correctly; I’ve considered using clear silicone caulk to ensure a good (albeit permanent) seal. I’ll wear a hoody under my jacket, and insulated tights under my pants, and a decent pair of wool hiking socks in my boots. (Oh, and waterproof boots are def. better in the winter.) Finall, I put Fly Racing rain gear on over my regularly riding gear, and that keeps the wind off well enough that I can make my ride to and from work down to about 20F without being too cold at 80, 85mph.
