Day 5

Morning Commute:
Conditions: 10 Deg F with 7 Deg windchill.
Head: A very sharp Sheila Moon "TmonT style" cap, fleece scarf, helmet with cover, Specialized glasses
Upper Body: Nike sleeveless base layer, long sleeve jersey, Nike coat
Hands: Pearl Cyclone gloves, Bar Mitts.
Lower Body: Thermasilk bottoms, performance wind front tights,
Feet:
Mysterioso fleece socks with wool-e-ator socks on top and toe warmers
wrapped around toes between socks, Lake MZ302 boots.

Observations: Changed things up a bit because some laundry was still drying.  The Performance tights are nearly useless when compared to the Trek windfronts.  While the toes were good, the heavier woolie boolie socks would have been better.  The scarf offers good coverage, but hurts mobility and you cannot turn your neck very well.

Evening Commute:
Conditions: 23 Deg F.
Head: A very sharp Sheila Moon "TmonT style" cap, polypro face mask, helmet with cover.
Upper Body: long sleeve jersey, Nike coat
Hands: Pearl Cyclone gloves, Bar Mitts.
Lower Body: Thermasilk bottoms, performance wind front tights,
Feet: wool-e-ator socks and toe warmers wrapped around toes outside of socks, Lake MZ302 boots.

Observations: all was good.  It was necessary to take the mask down.  The warmer temp felt downright balmy.
