       @ai6yr asks:It recently was raining and high 40's/low 50's with wind here, and I decided I would not bicycle to the store (having not researched proper clothing). Q4. What would folks who ride in cold conditions recommend for clothing for cycling in very cold rain with wind? (I was worried about getting wet and cold and hypthermic).#BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite

       @ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite #BikeNite A4. I feel like I answer this at least once a month, but I live in Northern New England, and I've been car-free for over 4 years. I'm going into my 5th Winter on a bicycle.I wear Lands' End Squall series waterproof insulated outerwear, a motorscooter helmet with a full face shield, waxed leather wool-lined UGG boots, and leather motorcycle gauntlets with a squeegee on one finger to clear my face shield.

       @ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite The one weakness in my gear is the gloves. I really need proper rain covers for my gloves. I'm considering the ones from Aerostich, because I have one of their motorcycle suits, so I trust the quality. Their gear is very expensive, but designed for all-weather usage on motorcycles.https://www.aerostich.com/collections/glove-covers/products/aerostich-triple-digit-glove-covers

       @gcvsa @ascentale @bikenite Interesting, so basically a motorcycle approach. Sounds like that's necessary in New England though!!! 🥶

       @ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite For wind and rain in those temperatures, I'll normally wear a Galibier Tourmalet 4 jacket and Fizik Artica bootsWith a dry torso and feet, the battle is mostly won.Add gloves to suit, remembering to take a spare dry pair for the return journey. I don't bother with waterproof bottoms, just non-flappy shorts (and/or tights); for me, wet legs are less of a problem than overheating.https://www.galibier.cc/product/tourmalet-3-waterproof-cycling-jacket/
