Default Screw You Mother Nature

34 degrees and snowing outside. I decided to go take the new Tourmaster suit for a test spin:



Tourmaster Transition Series 2 Jacket

Tourmaster Caliber Pants

Icon Pursuit Gloves

I came home covered in slush from head to toe. Inside, I was completely dry. The only thing that got cold on me were my toes and the tips of my fingers.

Short of heated gloves or grips, I'm not sure what else I can do with my hands. I was wearing Icon Pursuit gloves (waterproof & insulated) with fleece glove liners.

My boots are cheap Fly MX boots. There's no insulation in them, and I was not wearing any insulated socks.

Heated grips are the bestest. To save you from hating me I won't tell you about my ride today...

Nice bike!
