Winter Clothing Survival … the Cissbury way

Before opening Cissbury, I spent a few years despatch riding in and out of London and saw two full winters’ work. Here are my thoughts on how to keep warm:

• COST  As in many things money plays a part in the options you have. Back in those days most of what was available was fairly crap, but now it’s a better situation.
  
  

• GLOVES   Make sure they are a large fit, but NOT tight. This will mean they will have more scope for warm air to remain in the glove. Remember to allow for glove liners, if needed. The more layers they contain the better, so if they are waterproof they will be warmer, and buy what you like the fit of. Big money brands will not be warmer or more waterproof.
  
  

• HEATED STUFF   Cissbury have stocked it all and the only brand I can recommend is Klan. Klan is reliable, not too expensive and simple. Battery stuff is good for short hops, but will only be as good as the battery you buy to put in it!
  
  

• LAYERS  If you are on a budget then wear lots of layers of thin material. Do NOT rely on thick jumpers etc. (I used to wear girls tights, then thin jogging bottoms, leather jeans then waterproofs!) It’s better to cut the wind chill getting to you. Wear your waterproof oversuit (they tend not to be breathable so will keep a good layer of warmer air next to your normal leathers etc). If you are caught out on a trip and start to get cold … STOP AND WARM UP. Do not struggle on once your core temperature starts dropping as you could be in trouble. Grab a coffee and nick whatever you can find to stuff down your gear: newspapers, paper towels etc are good. These will all insulate you, but will work if you have warmed up first.
  
  

• HANDLEBAR MUFFS   Last but not least, handlebar muffs. Not a fashion statement but the only way of truly keeping your hands warm. I ended up with sheepskin mittens, with waterproof over mitts and handle bar muffs. Yes, it may feel odd … but it is the only way.

Hello to everyone at BBA couriers (some of whom are still riding now from when I worked there).

Ride safe…
