Re: [RC] [RC] cold feet and hands - April

eBay is a nice place to look. I bought a case of 50 pairs for 42 bucks
after shipping. The seller sells lots of them.

Another thing I do to make them last longer is when I come back in
after a 2 or 3 hour ride, I put the packs immediately into a ziplock
bag and squeeze all the air out to preserve some of the heating action
so I can use them again. Granted, the used packs are stiffer, but
still work for me. They seem to work ok in my gloves and I usually put
new ones in my shoes.

I went to REI and bought thin caps that are made to go under ski
helmets. I also bought a thin, soft face mask in the same department.
I bought a slightly thicker one from Altrec.com that is very nice,
too. Depending on the weather, I wear one cap, one face mask, two
caps, or one cap and the face mask. I have an adjustable helmet, so
just make it a smidgeon bigger in the winter to accomodate 2 thin ski
caps.

Both these things helps me a lot (in addition to layering of proper
materials that others have said). I hate being cold. I think 50
degrees is cold. ;-)
