I said nothing about storing laundry in anorak pockets after a ride. If you sweat that much, do you really need gloves, headband or cap?

But then I do wear long fingered gloves to keep fingers from hurting. Shorts at 50 is not bad. Do not wear sandals anytime. But then I do wear long fingered gloves to keep fingers from hurting.

But then I start getting warm and I finish the ride in comfort. If I'm dressed warmly enough to be anywhere close to comfortable when I start out then I'll be hot and miserable for most of the ride.

If I'm a little cold I can also ride faster. I guess it works the other way too, but on a commute you don't want to slow down too much or you'll be late. I was mostly joking about looking for my gloves, but I usually wait a few minutes after getting dressed until I start to feel warm. Then stepping outside is refreshing and the first mile isn't as chilly. Especially when I go for a run instead of a ride, because I've got nowhere to carry extra layers. +1 for erring a bit on the cold side and packing an extra layer.

If not enough, I take one arm out of the coat, leaving it buttoned around my torso like the Tibetans do. I'd rather dress for "the first mile" than find myself hypothermic if I'm too low on energy to keep moving fast. but then too, I have COPD and panting, especially cold air, brings on asthma attacks. So I must pace myself. I just open my coat and let my chest steam. If not enough, I take one arm out of the coat, leaving it buttoned around my torso like the Tibetans do.

If I could find my gloves quickly and easily, I wouldn't be pre-warmed when I go outside. Over the years I’ve developed a cold weather strategy that works quite well for me.
