Many people contact me asking what to wear on a fat bike in the winter. After several years of fat biking in warm to very cold temperatures I have created a system for clothing, hydration, and lights.

In this short 13 minute video I present these systems. All temperatures in this video are in Celsius.

Upper Body Layer System:

• Merino wool long sleeve base layer
• Long sleeve fleece
• Winter cycling jacket
• Wind proof fleece vest
• Light weight puffy or down jacket for -10C or colder

Lower Body:

• Full leg fleece bib tights
• Extra wind proof layer
• Insulated wind proof pants for -15C or colder

Feet:

• Insulated winter cycling boots
• Warm downhill ski socks that cover the calves
• Ski booties that fit on top of the cycling boots for days when it is -10C or colder
• Electric socks
• You can also get toe warmers made by Hot Hands or Hot Shots that are air activated and keep your feet warm for a few hours

Hands:

• Ski gloves
• Pogies for -10C and colder or longer outings

Head:

• Buff for keeping your neck warm
• Balaclava made of fleece
• Winter cycling helmet
• Protective eyewear

FOR SAFETY: Always ride with an extra puffy or down jacket to keep warm in case of emergencies.

Love and Bikes all!
