Fleece, fleece, fleece! I wear fleece
breeches, turtleneck with fleece top with a fleece lined windbreaker, fleece
gloves (or waterproof fleeced lined gloves), and thick fleece socks (work better
than wool I believe). You can wear LESS clothes with fleece and be warmer.
Okay. I figured out what to do for Vashka in the cold wheather,
thanks to you guys and your recommendations for wool coolers and fleece
blankets and the idea of layering (it really works).
But in our continued saga to transition from Miami wheather to Oregon
wheather, I am at a loss as to what to put on my feet and hands when I ride
and muck out, ect. Yesterday I rode and I got so cold my toes turned yellow
and I couldn't bend them till I got home and stuck them in warm water. And
mind you, this was with two pair of socks on, beneather shoes
that were sgupposed to "wick" the moisture. One pair of socks was wool,
the other cotton. And the scary thing is that it's supposed to get
COLDER.
The gloves were that thinsulate stuff. Uh, I felt like my fingers were
going to fall off.
So what do you guys do that works?
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lori and Vashka and Harley, too (Harley is Vashka's mini.)
