Wore windblock jersey on Friday in about 0 degrees for ten miles with medium weight base layer, nano-flex arm warmers and a buff, and nearly boiled to death, although I think I was also going slightly hypoglycemic.
Wore it again this morning at about 5 degrees with the nano-flex arm warmers and a lighter base layer without the buff. Did 20 miles at mostly tempo because I'm knackered and, although I had moments of feeling cold and others of feeling hot, after about 40 minutes I was feeling good and that the outfit could keep me comfortable thereafter. Will prob need to lose the arm warmers if I want to ride threshold in similar temps. Should be slightly warmer for the ride home so will test without them then...
