    A cold weather tip from Norway is to cover your clutch and brake leaver with something insulating. I use electrical tape..

      You'll get rubber lever covers on eBay very cheap, I just bought some for £2.

      Medical cloth tape is excellent. Provides insulation from the cold levers and help increase “feel” when your fingers are cold.
      Pick it up at your local drug store and it’s cheap.

    Best anti fog goggle you will get is take a pair of your old goggles that you don't care about and pull all the foam from the bottom and top(NOT THE FACE FOAM). The goggle will vent so well they will out last any dual pain lens. This is for cold weather, rainy weather and even snow riding (Anywhere that dust isn't a issue)

    Also, hot hands are activated by air. If you put them somewhere that is getting hit with alot of wind while your riding they will get hotter. Could be something you do on purpose or maybe you want to avoid getting too hot/sweaty. Jusy something to keep in mind.

      That's what I'm talking about! When i first looked in to Merino, I read about the New Zealand sheep. It's pretty amazing stuff. I've always wondered if there is a big difference in merino quality between the brands. I've definitely noticed some feel softer than others. -Chase

    I’m about to head out in 9 degrees Fahrenheit up in northern Wyoming. I wear my snowboard gear. Burton AK pants, Burton AK jacket, under armor base layers top and bottom, smart wool socks, and I wear Ariat work hog cowboy boots in the winter, DEWALT makes great winter gloves for under $20 and they keep my hands warmer than my $250 snowboard gloves. I wear latex gloves underneath. I have a thin balaclava and then a full on neoprene face mask and hand guards are key. I carry hand warmers in my pack and the means to make a fire if I need to because I’m out there by myself. Also I carry an emergency hand crank light with a phone charger as well as a tactical flashlight, extra plugs, tools, Co2 cartridges and tire repair kit, extra fuel canister. Don’t go out there unprepared. The hot hands are awesome and can save your ass. Bring fluids as well, I have a camelback 2.0 liter in my pack. Good video.

    I might have to try that Fox Legion gear! Gets pretty cold here on the coast of Wales, so in the winter sadly my Fox 360 gear stays in my gear bag 😂 leg warmers and a gillet are great, I use Mechanix gloves for winter as they keep my hands pretty warm!

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Casey, the legion gear is pretty rad. The jersey is still pretty slim, so i'd make sure to have a good jacket too. This soft shell is my favorite jacket-it blocks the wind, is warm, easy to ride in, and I wear it ALL THE TIME as a casual jacket. Worth every penny.-Chase

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, it definitely isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for with base layers. I haven't found anything even close that wicks moisture and doesn't stink. The ani-odor is my favorite part. My brother and I wore it for the first time several years ago on an archery hunt and we were blown away that we could wear it all day, sweat our butts off and after letting dry overnight, you couldn't even tell you wore them the entire day before.
