"As we move into warmer weather, it’s time to tuck away cold-weather essentials, including winter coats, boots, mittens, and bedding. However, stuffing stinky or stained items away for months is a surefire way to permanently damage them. Dirt, grime, snow, salt, and ice can ruin your winter gear and even attract pests. Here’s why and how to wash six winter essentials before storage."

It's important to clean off corrosive salt and dirt off of your snowshoes, skis and other winter gear before storing it!

"Winter footwear includes boots of all kinds—galoshes, hiking boots, moccasins, snow shoes, and everything in between. They tend to pick up more than slush and mud. Salt and bacteria can be much worse. "

No #WinterGear for me. Just #RainGear. It's tropical here. 😁

I don't do #cycling clothes. My usual cycling outfit is a long-sleeved shirt and leggings or hiking trousers (I prefer them for the zippered pockets to secure my stuff and keep them from flying out of my pocket if I should have an accident). I also bring a light rain jacket. That combo is good enough for me in any weather. Not meant to keep me dry. I'll still get wet of course. 🤷‍♀️

What's your #WinterGear for #cycling?

I'm surprised by how little equipment I need to do my ~18km per day at all conditions (so far):

* Waterproof Softshell Jacket (I have this one: dhb Trail Hooded Softshell Jacket)
* Waterproof Cycling Trousers (worn over my normal jeans, I have this one: O'NEAL TSUNAMI Rain Pants V.18 Black)

Only when the temperature goes below 0°C, I switch to my winter dufflecoat. And (at 5-10°C) I've gotten into several larger showers: The jacket and trousers really are watertight.

It's true: Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Klamotten! (There's no thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.)
