I'm curious: I don't ride below the high teens, but I did live in Quebec City for 5 years and have been out x-country skiing and running at temperatures well below 0*F -- skiing at -20*F on one breezy, sunny day that I recall when I wore my fur trimmed parka (that was too warm over just a shirt at anything above 32*F). Am I right in thinking that the long, fur trimmed hoods that extend well beyond your nose keep a little layer of body-warmed air against your face?
