Cold Lower? back

[iguana]

On the chilly days I can be toasty elsewhere but the lower back still gets a chill, top rides up & just t shirt exposed. I dont wear bib shorts or bib tight, is that the answer? Still only lycra tho, can't imagine much warmth?

Tried using a neoprene weighs belt, is better, but still not ideal, what do you use?

Bibbed shorts/tights will definitely help. You can get winter ones, like these, with a fine layer of fleece in them which are surprisingly warm given how thin they are:

bib shorts and a top that is the appropriate length and cut to not ride up would seem to be the place to start

Give bibs a try, if only for the massive increase in comfort (no more elastic waistband trying to cut you in two!)

Thermo bib tights and an icebreaker merino wool t-shirt as base with a cycling jersey and then a Jacket e.g. Castelli Gabba

But before you spend any money on any Merino product, try and find out if you're allergic to wool!

I bought a really nice Merino baselayer. I wore it once for about 300 yards, and as soon as I'd warmed up, I had to turn round, ride home and replace it with a manmade fibre one, as it felt like I was wearing a shirt made out of brillo pads knitted together and heated with a blowtorch.

cheapy baselayer shirt from Sports Direct, can't remember the brand but they are really long in the body with a grip seam at the bottom, I am lanky and they never ride up on me.

Bib shorts/tights and a merino base layer - milder winter days I'll wear a merino t-shirt over the bib, and on really chilly days I'll wear a long sleeve merino top under my bib. Seems to work for me.

Cheers chaps.
