Good line!… I practiced dentistry for 31 years and can buy whatever I want haha! Seriously….I cycle almost 10,000 miles per year at age 70 and have acquired the best assortment of kit over the years.
Anything below 20 degree is cold. I`m starting to put some clotting on me. In 0-5 degree I`m moving to basement and turbo trainer. Your advise is really good, but I need to shift everything 5 degree up. My ideal temperature is 25-30, sunshine, no clouds, open road, me and bike. Can`t wait for summer. This winter is to long.
I bought the Bontrager Velocis Soft Shell jacket which works really well with a light base layer like Marino wool . This jacket keeps your chest and arms warm but vents heat out the thinner back panel. It’s good between temps of 5 to 12 deg C.
Unlike GCN or other youtubers, we actually live in the same city. Therefore, your advice is the most sound for me Edit: Can you please link all the materials in the description?
I'm going to start cycling to work within the next two weeks. It's currently Fall on the east coast ( U.S). Underrated video, and exactly what i was looking for.
🇨🇦 Montreal bike commuter here! I made a guide for winter biking in -20C to 0C conditions, would love to hear your thoughts ! th-cam.com/video/QQXk0AqXjDo/w-d-xo.html
Hahah guys i just bought winter jacket, winter bins and warm top leyer. It gets much better riding when you buy good stuff for bike ride. But it cost a lot when you write on paper what you buy in one season. 😂
@@CharlesOuimet Georgia. I just started this year. Hopefully next year I will be ready for the mountains not far away. I'm glad I have a climate that gives me OK weather to ride longer.
Pas facile filmer des B-roll intéressant de soit même sans personne pour faire des mouvements de caméra ahah alors j'ai filmé en 4K avec mes deux caméras avec angle différent (ce vidéo en 1080p) j'avais alors pas mal de flexibilité pour faire des zoom-in, zoom-out, pan up et pan down hehe
I live in Montreal and right now I use my winter down jacket when bicycling in November. It's so warm I only need to wear a t-shirt under it. The only downside is that the jacket is very bulky which creates a lot of air resistance. I'm sure I would feel too cold if I wear the jacket you recommend for 5-10 degrees Celsius.
If you are getting too cold, that means you aren't pedaling hard enough!!! ahah but jokes a sides, we all find what works best for you. I did my best sharing my experience with clothing as temperature can be tricky!
Hurray for progress! Living in Russia, in mid 80th I did not have that fancy cycling clothes stuff and I put on myself at -18°C the same winter gear as I could use for skiing plus paper inside and paper+wool socks outside cycling shoes.The only problem was to make the studded tires for the bicycle,they were not available at that time.
Even when you say 0 degrees you are referring to celsius which is 32F which isn't that cold. I mean stuff can freeze but where I live I can sometimes ride in 0 Fahrenheit. There is no way those clothes would be enough to stay warm. Back when I would MTB bike I would have days where my gears would freeze and I had to ride using the one gear it got stuck in.
Discuttable ahah, when its 15-20, it can easily cool down to under 15 at the end of the day, that no sleeve wind-vest or arm warmers are always appreciated ahahah
Socks...over or under legwarmers ?Pulling off legwarmers is easier when they are over the socks but I feel I loose styling points in that configuration 😂
Thank you for sharing this! Would you explain more in detail what clothing or layers would make us to sweat more? Is seems I am not using right clothing, because I sweat a lot and all layers of my clothes get wet and it makes it challenging to take a break ( I freeze)
Thanks! Maybe you wear too warm clothes for the weather, so you sweat, then get cold. If you leave the house and you are comfortable, that means it's too warm clothing!!! You need to start and be cold. Also maybe you need high-end clothing such as goretex, so that fabric can breathe more and prevent for sweat
This is a super useful presentation. But for me, a proper temperature insulating glove is of utmost importance. I hate it when I’m whooshing through the subzero tempts and my fingers are burning cold!
Bonne vidéo surtout pour la température aléatoire de Montréal 😂 as-tu un bike shop où tu préfères acheter les vêtements de vélo à Montréal? Histoire de supporter les commerces locaux 💪 merci!
Merci!! Chez Ibike ils ont une petite collection automne qui supporte la shop et l'équipe, mais sinon pour le gear d'hiver, j'ai pas vraiment de boutique a montreal!
please note to avoid critical injury and death NEVER wear dark clothing or have a dark coloured frame. Life is valuable never squander it away by taking high risk situations. Deaths from bike accidents are on the increase because motorist dont see you. Always wear bright light clothing and light coloured bikes. Never wear black....
Really good question man! I forgot to talk about socks. I go with my regular light summer socks because nothing thicker will fit in my cycling shoes. So I just go with good shoe cover!
I have a question, so appearantly there is a material that is waterproof and is still breathable at the same time (the items from castelli, which he showed) so why do people still need a gortex rainjacken, which ist not breathable????
that material is not AS waterproof as goretex. it's good for light rain, but not pouring rain or a storm. Goretex on the otherhand is better forthat, but less breathable
Hi Charles, great content thanks ! Wanted to get your opinion for the Castelli Perfetto ROS jersey. Have you tried it or could recommend it? I’m thinking of just having 1 really good jersey, instead of multiple cheaper jackets, thermals and jerseys. I’d appreciate your opinion, thanks again
Hey man! I haven't tried that jersey so I cant tell about it. I've just ordered a Pedal Mafia Thermal jacket that I'm super hyped on! It's less expensive too and I'll shortly have a 10% discount to give away to my viewers, stay tuned!
I'm new to winter cycling, and I've read online that the first layer is the base layer, which for some reason has not been mentioned in this video. Would you not put a base layer, followed by a jersey, followed by gilet for 5 - 10 degrees?
The thing is, if you’re a “full gas” rider, it doesn’t takes long for your body temperature to rise and too much garb will become a hinderance very soon.

cycling in cold temperatures is just miserable. despite the fancy expensive gear u wear depicted in this video you will sweat. when you sweat your body will get soaked and then the cold air and wind wil make you cold and sick.
just need 5-6 years to accumulate all these items on sale so you can bike comfortably without first studying dentistry ;)
ahah absolutely!!
Buying one item per year is my go to aswell!
Good line!… I practiced dentistry for 31 years and can buy whatever I want haha! Seriously….I cycle almost 10,000 miles per year at age 70 and have acquired the best assortment of kit over the years.
Aliexpress has very affordable bicycle gear

The best fall/autumn cycling clothing advice on the net. I think I will need a bib tights without pad to get more uses of my bib shorts.
Thank you!! Yes you can definitely get tights without a bad, they are less expensive too than long-sleeved bib
So far this year I have only had to add the vest and arm warmers. December I may need the jacket and full finger gloves.
Nice that you are still riding outdoor!! Where are you from?

damn that sounds extreme!!
@@CharlesOuimet It ain't, I cycle in that temperature every winter. The air is dry. Cycling in slush is way more annoying.
…and I guess it worked better than any Castelli winter gear.
Very informative! Thanks Charles, really good video 👌
Thank you job!!!
Thx for sharing. Very insightful!! :)
My pleasure, thanks for watching!

Well here I didn't show how to dress for 0 Fahrenheit ahah :p Of course you need a proper winter jacket and gloves
15-20° is just like a regular fresh summer day in the alps. no reason for any specific clothes at 15+ :-D
Discuttable ahah, when its 15-20, it can easily cool down to under 15 at the end of the day, that no sleeve wind-vest or arm warmers are always appreciated ahahah
@@CharlesOuimet haha fair enough. i actually really got used to riding in shorts still at 7 at 75km/h 😂
Socks...over or under legwarmers ?Pulling off legwarmers is easier when they are over the socks but I feel I loose styling points in that configuration 😂
Ahah yes!! The pool on my IG said 70% socks over and 30% socks under
Really informative👌🏼 , thanks.

You are right! Thanks for sharing
@@CharlesOuimet I expect you, as a cyclist, to agree. 😊.
You mention the wind vest (ibike) but its a jacket. Can you give more details on this product please. Thanks for the video!
It's a Jackroo
I’d appreciate some links of sorts to find the clothing in this video.

Great note Peter, thanks for sharing!
What about socks? Do you wear the same socks year long and adjust with the shoes cover or do you use merino wool socks for colder temperatures?
Really good question man! I forgot to talk about socks. I go with my regular light summer socks because nothing thicker will fit in my cycling shoes. So I just go with good shoe cover!
Great video!
Who makes that neck warmer was that you had on towards the end of the video ?
Thanks! The neck warmer is a Jackroo
Auto Subscribe for that Quebec Accent.
ahahahahah :p good to know
Merci champion 💪🏼
Great vid!
Thank you dude
Any long sleeve aero jersey and bib shorts?
I thought about Castelli nano flex , but fit is too loose and bulky
I now have a long sleeve PMCC jersey from pedal mafia, super cool! but not waterproof
Can you put links to these clothes ? Especially that 7 mesh black jacket ?
7Mesh is called the ORO Jacket, quick google search and you got it!
thanks man, now I can commute with cold
Hell yes
Many Thanks !

What brand were those shoe covers ?
Castelli!
Hey Charles! What size are your 7mesh TK1 bib tights? We have the same physique and I’m debating on small or medium…
(5’7”..140lbs)
hey im 5'6 145 lbs and I got the small!! There are plenty of more leg lenght for you at 5'7.
Absolutely love that winter bib! Highly recommend
Sooper! ☺️
Hehe

I've never really needed once or used one, so I didn't include in as this is personal experience

Nice One!!
Thanks Steve!
+1 for those neoprene shoe covers!
Yes!!!
What is cycling clothing called?
5:21 sorry, but neoprene does not "evapore the heat". It will keep your sweat and heat inside the gloves, not the best feeling on a handlebar..
true! thanks
Err... I am from BC. I'll use the money to buy a Wahoo indoor trainer. :P
Ahah good call, fall clothing can be expensive
you should have links for the items.
Didn't want to promote these specific products, simply their category of products!
Is there one shop for all this clothes?
Yeah big bike stores should have pretty much everything
Ahahah, 😂
As we all know shaving legs is very important in cyclist looks so my question is : "is it recommended to shave legs even in winter?"
hummm I usually don't! Only when it's velodrome track days!
Does the nanoflex remain water repellent after washing?
Great question, I don't have the answer unfortunately
Les bons vieux chauffe main et pieds utiliser en ski !!!!! Pas besoin de payer une fortune Si tu gèle pas des pieds ou mains tu es OK
En effet!!

cycling in cold temperatures is just miserable. despite the fancy expensive gear u wear depicted in this video you will sweat. when you sweat your body will get soaked and then the cold air and wind wil make you cold and sick.
what is your other solution :o ?
why all cycling cloths seem designed for clown in circus? they look so dorky
sorry!
one cannot trust youtubers anymore - they will do all for $$$
Wearing black clothing on the road, seriously poor choice of colour. Be seen, avoid getting hit.
thats why having a great rear light is a must!
You're pushing very expensive clothing.
ahah oups
