Burn the Shivering Coldness!

Freezing coldness when riding tortures both my body and mind. I can’t think well…I’m losing my focus…I’m losing my senses and am shivering to the bones. The inevitable can be preventable (especially vehicular mishaps), if only I am devoid of this freezing tinge.

Now I’ve learned my lesson. Why suffer the torture when you can do more without it? The solution is to dress properly. Let me start from the gloves. You can have layers to provide heat and comfort but be sure that wind circulation is still possible. If your fingers have gone freezing numb, try a pair of latex gloves as the inner layer.

Next stop – boots. Leather and wicking socks keep feet warmer. Aside from the fact that a nice pair of boots keeps your feet from getting cold and wet, it also adds up elegance to your overall appearance.

Heated clothing like vests, jackets, pants and applied layering can recharge your heat factory to keep up with the outside temperature. Bacclava mask can also be used to protect the neck from the raging coldness of wind.

Now, shivering coldness cannot put me down!
