How cold was it?
A common thread we often see posted is which piece of equipment is best. Unfortunately by "best" the poster rarely means"which offers the best protection". Any safety equipment (helmet to boots) we wear has a prime requirement of keeping us safe. Comfort should be secondary with fashion third. After all, if its not comfortable we won't wear it as much. If I knew for certain a jacket would keep me safe in an accident but leaked rain to beat the band I would still wear it. It is very rare to see a posting wanting to know which gloves offer the best hand protection or which jacket will protect you best. Luckily we have very little (still too much) data and (knock wood) I have none.
Those of you unfortunate enough to test gear in the most meaningful manner, how about some guidance on what worked well, what was okay and what gear failed when put to the acid test.
