Korben Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Well it looks like a couple of months of hot dry weather just ain't gonna happen!!!! I am looking at getting some thermals for under the leathers as I ain't stopping riding!! I have looked at Knox which look pretty good to be honest, but that's pretty much all I know...Anyone got any recommendations of other brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'm not convinced by the 'technical' material claims. Multiple layers of cheap thin clothing work far better than one layer of expensive hi-tech stuff.When I was diving I wore longjohns and vests under a huggy bear and only then just felt warm enough.

Korben Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Funny you should say Para. The thermals Cold Killers sell are actually 3 layers. I have a balaclava from them which has wind protection on the neck. It's all I use on the neck and rode early this year in cold weather without any protection on my neck apart from that and never felt anything!!Think I will probably just end up with Cold Killers ones. Would still like input from others to let everyone know good ones. Me thinks it's going to be useful after this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I wear an EDZ undersuit all year round, but when its cold I just add thin layers.Top tip for if you get caught out in the cold.... Tights!Get 2 pairs an cut the feet off one of them an put a hole inbetween the legs then wear that as a under jumper and the other pair on your legs!

martynmcg Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That was going to be my tip Pete about the tights. My step father told me that just after I started riding. He rode bikes in the army years ago. Regardless of what folk may think, as long as it keeps you warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I've heard of using tights before.I wouldn't wear leathers if it was really cold!textiles with linings in and lots of layers.you also need to stop more often, cold makes you lose concentration!once you're cold it's too late!

techno Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have some edz leggings fairly cheap and work real well even under my Jeans for work!Other than that put my liner back in my textile jacket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Cold Killers are my choice, and as said, if very cold another T shirt or something over the top. I`ve also put the waterproofs over my leathers, even when dry, as this helps keep the cold wind off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigup Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 are the coldkillers the only Windproof base layers?the EDZ isnt windproof is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revvin Kevin Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 are the coldkillers the only Windproof base layers?the EDZ isnt windproof is it? EDZ also do a windproof top that goes under your leathers I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigup Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 id like to get the edz one piece, but need to know if it keeps you warm as the cold killers stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Depending on how much you feel the cold have you considered a diving under-suit as used in dry suit diving.When I tried mine on it fitted under my top gear and was really toasty.

Revvin Kevin Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 id like to get the edz one piece, but need to know if it keeps you warm as the cold killers stuff. I've got the EDZ 1 piece and wear it all the time, it won't keep you warm on its own, especially if your leathers are perforated but it's better than nothing. I would be interested if the cold killers perform any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
