HI guys ... I was wondering How you northern guys Dress for long cold sweaty practice sessions ??

I was Hoping that maybe TheHATE or ScottChychul or other Alaskan or canadian stunters might chime in and share their knowledge and experiences with " The Best way to dress for the cold"

The temps have been dropping here... I've been practicing 2 hours a day....4 to 5 days a week....and I'm old and fat....and sweat my *** off always.... Well, now that it's colder out .... as soon as I start sweating ....I start freezing ....and its a very wet, cold , unpleasant feeling. I want to practice all winter long here (cause we have mild winters) But I need to learn how to dress for it .

Thanks for any Advice

 

your 42 and cant dress for the cold?

 

 

he was raised by wolves

 

Harley has jackets pants and gloves that are heated, the jacket and pants are thermostat controlled.... havent ever worn them so i cant give u any feed back, I know the jacket was somewhere in the $200 range. I'll ride unless there's snow on the road, when it's around 10 i wear boxers, those pj pants, and jeans on top.. I also have a pair of codura pants... but the things are slippery as ****, you slide off in sit downs and turns they blow. then i wear a beater, t-shirt, longsleeve shirt, hoodie, and then leather jacket, and a ski mask (the ones that cover your nose down not the whole head) underneath my helmet. this is the truth, it'll make u look an extra 45lbs in the belly, but you can still rip down the interstate the day before the ice storm... and people look at you like ur crazys, its kinda fun hahah

 

You need a good base layer Underarmour or something like it cuz it wicks the sweat away from ur body and keeps u dry
Heavy things like cotton or wool are just gonna **** you cuz its gonna hold the sweat near ur body and then the air makes u cold, get some underarmour and then just put on ur gear if ur riding hard you wont need to pile on clothes its not bulky and still lets u move freely

I work at a ki/board shop in the winter I've sat threw hrs of clinics on how to layer haha

 

^ thats some good motherly advice

It got to like 36 degrees here in FL a couple of years ago
I just wore thick underwear/thick socks and jeans/a shirt a thick sweater and a jacket.
I got a pair of thin gloves to wear under my leather ones and a ski mask under my helmet.
I was still cold as **** but it was strangely fun.
Last year I just rode the truck around.

 

yeah...you're real funny and all....

but I've been livin in Fla and TN for the last 21 years....So I'm not really up to date on the newest and best technologies when it comes to undergarments for cold weather sports.

so instead of going out and buying some crap that doesnt work...i thought that maybe someone with alot of experience on the subject might help out . but thanks for your knowledgable response

 

this is what I've been having in mind... but Im wondering if there is a brand or material that is just , straight up < better than the rest..

some kind of wicking material :YEAH

 

 

YEha the best **** on the market is from a company called patagonia they design **** for mountain climbers but they have lighter stuff for not as xcold places its really good **** light wieght ands works great, I dont know how cold Tennesse gets but Underarmour also make cold weather gear, but if its not below like 20* its too much

 

Buku Thanks

pretty easy to get away with a pair of sweatpants or long johns underneath a pair of jeans, thermal long sleeve shirt, tshirt and i sweatshirt and Im good. if its real cold out try wearings Under Armor stuff that works pretty damn good and its light as ****

 

OK I'm the pro at this!

layer <---- but not cotton!!!! Take a few pairs of gloves, keep a set on your truck when your hands get cold swap then out!

 

Dam I thought that I was the only one sweatin while practicing. Dont matter what temp it is I'm sweating like a pig after 10 minutes. Sucks.

 

underamour pants shirt glove liners and helmet sock then icon lined jeans to break the wind and either my leather or a hoodie with a thermal and im ready to go
under armour is the best ever

 

chychul wears a t-shirt when its snowing. they KEY is a XL triple triple

 

Thanks Dude... I knew you would have this info "On Lock" LOL

I could have used the Gloves advice last night Mine were soaked and cold for my last two sessions of the night....brrrrr

 

Hot tea with cocaine princled ontop inside of hot thermos! If the cocaine sinks in right you will not care how cold it is. sure you may have frostbite, but youll be rocking highchairs like you where on a sunny beach in FL = )

 

Chili's makes a good long John that also wicks the sweat, as for the gloves I put thoses little heat packs in my socks and my gloves. There thin and last awhile best thing for winter riding your hands stay warm and so do your feet.
