    Was beginning to loose faith in my Mistral on Sunday but combined it with two Cantebury long-sleeve base layers yesterday and all was well. Both rides were in the 1 to 3 degrees range. The tights are great too but a bit out of sync with this year's blue jacket. No problem for me as I have the black/red jacket.

    I wear mine with just an Under Armour Cold Gear LS baselayer and it does the job perfectly.

    I had thought they were releasing a red one but no sign of it so far.

    I've been wearing a Castelli Trasperante for almost 3 years, but found it a bit chilly yesterday even with base layer, ss jersey and arm warmers. According to the Castelli website, the recommended wear temperature is 4c to 14c. So, which of the two previously mentioned would be more suitable, the Santini or Galibier??

    First spin in my Mistral bibs today - well impressed.

    Base layer, winter jersey and the Mistral lite more than enough for my body too - nearly too warm on some of the sheltered climbs.

    Between the products and their customer service, definitely turning into a galibier fanboy!

    Had the Galibier Mistral delivered last week but haven't debuted it yet due to the frost, etc. Hope to try it out tomorrow. Galibier arm warmers and 3/4 bib shorts rumoured to be packed on the sleigh for potential delivery on the big day. Ho bleedin ho!!
