Winter Clothing

My winter purchase might be a footbath- purely to bring my toes back up to temperature slowly enough to not rupture all the blood vessels in them, which happened again and again last year, turning two whole toes into permenant chillblains.

I have a work room on the side of the house. I dont bother having the heating on so its probably only 10 deg in the winter. Being in there as my right hand defrosted after being frozen for the last 25mins of a -12 deg C ride, due to wearing the wrong gloves, was the most painful experiance of my life. Hate to think how it would have felt in a warmer room. Lost some fine finger control, and struggle for example to turn book pages. But I still consider myself pretty lucky.
