it's nice to see someone put their balls on the line and recommend specific products rather than the usual flakey reviews most people give... i live and die in the 686 jacket, it's got me out of so many scrapes !! keep up the good work !
My friends and I don't even ride if the road is still wet from a previous shower... just goes to show that it can be enjoyable and even more satisfying if you have the right clothing. Awesome stuff.
I was lucky enough to live in Vancouver for a year (I'm from Australia) and really enjoyed riding when it snowed. It was so peaceful and surreal to be in those conditions :)
Wow buddy , that was a great vid .. start off in rain then all that snow , & all the miles you did .. I'm amazed .. what a Awesome guy you are .. loving you vids buddy .. all the best chris & Sam
Great video, I did about 2000miles through a wet. windy and cold British winter and I agree with everything you said with a little add on that I swap a bidon out for a small thermos of coffee with honey a real treat in the dark depths of winter cycling.
Love that you get out there, but that aint no Canadian winter! fatbikes, poggies, insulated water bottle bags, flat-peddles with thick warm boots, really thick layers with lots of vent zippers.
Those riding pants might look dorky but they look key! I need to invest in some for my rainy/snowy NYC commutes. Another great vid, dropping knowledge.
That ride looked like bliss. Strangely maybe, but especially the snow road portion. Thanks for the heads up with the trousers! I haven't worn waterproof trousers on a bike since I was a paperboy 25 years ago. I didn't give a damn what I looked like back then, but I was bossing it evidently!
I've done dozens of winter rides in Michigan, it looks like your snow conditions were around 27-35F, all wet slushy and about 3-4 inches total depth. Easy Peasy riding on that stuff. Looks like you might be riding some sort of 700c tires, I only do MTB 26 inch wheels in winter. Alas, Winter riding seems to be over here...waiting until next year. Be safe out there, too many people addicted to cellphones while driving.
Thanks for another informative presentation Dustin. By the way, my ass puckered when the snow plow passed you. You scored some hardman points on that ride homie.
@@EverythingsBeenDone I am new to cycling and with all the reviews on the internet I appreciate you showing us in crazy weather what the gear is actually capable of.
You need lights Dustin. Stay safe! Great video. Got caught in snow like that many years ago with no gloves. Long horrible ride home. My hands were welded into claw shape and took weeks to feel ok again.
Trek just released the Checkpoint Gravel bike. SL 6 version is full carbon with rack and fender mounts, extra bottle mounts, and isospeed decoupler. Fits up to 700x45c tires. Might be up your alley
Classic ice climber trick is dish gloves, as thick as you can find with a liner for added warmth. There's a popular Japanese pair that's blue, but I don't remember the name
Hey,you Guy got an Bombtrack Frame already ! I'm still waiting fof my Hook witch should come in a few Days.And i am living in Austria.... Must be some Vip Deal :) Joking... But at the Moment we have minus 10° Celcius not Fun to ride a Bike for longer then an hour. Can't wait at the Review on the Hook EXT -C !
Shoes - It never surprises me when people go directly to weatherproofing bike shoes when a vast percentage of avid bike riders don't own clip-in pedals. Usually, only the people that never get off their bike during a ride wear these shoes, 90% of the bike riders I see don't use clip-on shoes at all. Shoe covers - Nothing with zippers, best if made from a material that won't absorb as water at all and durable enough to last a few seasons. Rain pants - Get something you will feel comfortable enough to hike in... if you ever get off your bike. Get a pant that will fit over another layer or two. When the pants aren't overly loose and baggy the leg zips are almost useless, they never fit over a real everyday shoe. You will almost assuredly have to remove your shoes to don the pants. Zippers are always the weak link in anything that gets dirty and builds grim. I am using Soloman Bonatti WP Rain Pants. www.salomon.com/en-us/shop/product/bonatti-wp-pant-u.html#1191=10358 Base layers - Look at the backpacking and outdoor clothing lines to find what works best for you. Wool has been and is the gold standard for long term clothing. Synthetics wick moisture away from your body (no more sweat trickling down your back), and dry quickly, even in high humidity when you have good ventilation and some airflow. Underwear, sleeveless undershirt, low to high wool base-layer socks, then start adding layers appropriate for the conditions. Bibs - I don't like them and find them overly warm with no way to shed the head once it builds. They also seem to hold in moisture more than layered clothing made to live in rather than to bike in. They are also massive when not in use. Again something for people that don't just ride out of their garage every day. Rain Jacket: Designed for bike riding but comfortable and usable when off of the bike works best simply because sleeves are usually cut too short for bike riding. Long sleeves that allow full movement and have velcro closures at the wrists. You should be able to do jumping-jacks and not feel the jacket bind. Pit-zips and pockets designed for ventilation allow you to control heat and moisture better. An overabundance of pockets is never important to me, a couple so I can carry a small camera and put my hands in the pockets when off the bike. It should have a super high-quality double zipper. A hood... I disagree 100% and believe the rain skin (hard shell/soft shell) should have a full hood designed to wear over your biking helmet comfortably, removable would be nice but not necessary for me and have never had a problem with sound. A quality hood doesn't block vision at all with adjusted properly. Gloves - They don't ALL get rained through. Dyneema in mittens or anything else doesn't absorb water. When I am heading out into heavy rain and plan on being on the bike for hours I will don a pair of thin wool glove liners and cover them with surgical rubber gloves and then wear whichever glove I put over the top. After hours of riding in the rain, the glove liners under the rubber are not wet from the rain. Keeping your hands warm is more difficult. Socks - Wool wears best and retains heat even when wet. Thin to thick and short to tall then layer than appropriately. Headcovers - I pull a Buff over my head and ears every ride regardless of weather and then wear my helmet on top and lift the jacket hood when necessary (cold or rain). The Buff is usable in lots of ways while camping/hiking/biking. Boot and glove dryer.... hahaha I get it. What's your cut? "You can ride more often....." WTF? Things Not Covered: Helmet - A helmet with a removable face shield is great at keeping rain below my nose while riding and makes a huge difference in both wet and sunny climates. photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPS5nM7ZZEkJKcRM1rFO8S46UkvqfmsTaS1b4gW Rain Poncho - In warm wet climates I use a rain poncho from Cleverhood. It keeps me dry and well ventilated while riding or hiking. www.cleverhood.com/shop/rainwear/electric-houndstooth-cape/ Waterproof bags - Carry additional items of clothing on your bike in a waterproof go-bag... just like a tire repair kit, always have it with you. Options will keep you comfortable for longer rides. photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP0DO7ZGkPM8XGBqkpPm27AoBzKKpQrqLl3VPJ3 Umbrella - For anyone that actually gets off their bike, an umbrella is a good idea also. photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPyGzej6TQxqohl7aCe-MBo9HWSFtcyXtsx6aT5 Miscellaneous - Carry multiple micro-fiber cloths for wiping off lenses and eye-glasses. Try drying a lens with a synthetic shirt some time, it like wiping your nose in the back of a waterproof glove... not overly effective. The best advice I can give is don't listen to people that are trying to make money by getting you to buy something, any fucking thing. Listen to real riders that ride to ride not that ride to show-off and make money. If you are wearing rain gear you should be thinking of visibility, use lights, and reflective safety gear to stay visible.

Great video Dustin 👍 Have u ever thought of wearing more visible clothing though to give u a better chance of being seen by other road users in weather like u encountered? I have a Matt black bike but try to stand out a little more for safety but thanks for sharing all of your outings
Dustin- I’m a new follower. Just came upon your 686 cadence jacket. Would love to purchase one, but can’t find any availability. Can you help me? Suggestions?
I know that so many cyclist love tubeless but why? What do you feel when you're cycling that makes tubeless better? I am mulling over getting some for my bike as the wheels I have are tubeless compatible but I still have tubes. I understand that tubeless are less likely to get punctures but how is it that they ride better? Maybe another video idea for you Dustin :-)
I know it's not really your vibe but would you do a deeper review of that bombtrack? I want something with hella clearance but if I buy something it better last forever and be the dopest thing i've ever seen
What's with riding a bike wearing all black trend? don't you want to be seen? I get it looks cool but not really worth getting hit for. As for gloves wear neoprene kayak paddling gloves and you don't have to worry about them getting wet they work better wet. Any hard shell pant works and any rain jacket works. Why spend all this $$$.
I live in Ontario, Canada. I loved this vid so much that I've downloaded into my bike folder.
it's nice to see someone put their balls on the line and recommend specific products rather than the usual flakey reviews most people give... i live and die in the 686 jacket, it's got me out of so many scrapes !!
keep up the good work !
You've been CRITICAL to my UA-cam life. Real thanks
Player! Truly honored 🙌👊
gotta say thanks for the inspiration to get out there even in challenging conditions!
My friends and I don't even ride if the road is still wet from a previous shower... just goes to show that it can be enjoyable and even more satisfying if you have the right clothing. Awesome stuff.
The right gear defiantly helps! Nothing like being out there when the weather is crazy feels amazing like your not supposed to there.
I was lucky enough to live in Vancouver for a year (I'm from Australia) and really enjoyed riding when it snowed. It was so peaceful and surreal to be in those conditions :)
I look forward to these videos more than any other channel. Thanks for the inspiration, most people just zwift now when there's bad weather
Thanks homie! I wonder if people zwift and watch my videos, kinda like best of both worlds ;)
Wow buddy , that was a great vid .. start off in rain then all that snow , & all the miles you did .. I'm amazed .. what a Awesome guy you are .. loving you vids buddy .. all the best chris & Sam

That is a great suggestion! Warmth is critical for moral and survival ;)
Love that you get out there, but that aint no Canadian winter! fatbikes, poggies, insulated water bottle bags, flat-peddles with thick warm boots, really thick layers with lots of vent zippers.
I know its not real winter. Respect to all our brothers an sisters in the north!
Those riding pants might look dorky but they look key! I need to invest in some for my rainy/snowy NYC commutes. Another great vid, dropping knowledge.
That frame... SICK
That ride looked like bliss. Strangely maybe, but especially the snow road portion. Thanks for the heads up with the trousers! I haven't worn waterproof trousers on a bike since I was a paperboy 25 years ago. I didn't give a damn what I looked like back then, but I was bossing it evidently!
Waterproof pants really help me for longer rides. The snow was so rad.
Snowy DK. So hilarious. Great review on the clothes.

LMAO!!!!!
Can't wait to see that bike. Bombtrack makes some sick frames :-)
Me tooooo!!!

That sounds gnarly! Good thing you still have your fingers.
Straight up awesome, ride looked sick THANK YOU!!!
True player right here!
Trek just released the Checkpoint Gravel bike. SL 6 version is full carbon with rack and fender mounts, extra bottle mounts, and isospeed decoupler. Fits up to 700x45c tires. Might be up your alley
That does sound interesting. I think I need more tire though ;)
Another great vid Dustin!
Thanks player!
With regards to hoods and reduced visibility; a good wide brim hat will keep the hood tracking your head movements.
The bombtrack hook ext is good I have the steel sister! it just ready for anything
That Bombtrack looks BOSS!!!
Agreed! more to come from that shock caller!
Brutal! I got the Skylines and love em!
Just got a pair I'm excited to try them.
Look forward to hearing how they fair in the PNW weather. I haven't used them yet on long wet rides.
I'd love to see a video on bike care with rain or mud
You thinking along the lines of how I clean up the bike after these dirty ass rides?
There are gore-tex gloves that won't soak through. They also cost an arm and a leg, and won't be as windproof as windstopper ones.
Classic ice climber trick is dish gloves, as thick as you can find with a liner for added warmth. There's a popular Japanese pair that's blue, but I don't remember the name
Love this tip and will give this shot. Thanks for sharing Sam!
boot and glove dryer is key for PNW, so useful
Real talk!
The beauty of not having clip-ins is I just wear regular old fashion boots :D Water resistant boots work awesome for cycling down to -5 F.
I can dig it!
great music! seems like you somehow got attracted to the gnarliest wheather conditions...
It's gotta turn around at some point!
Bombtrack diggity gonna be fast! I love my ShowerPass SkyLine gear! If I mail myself to the "Send Gear to" address, can I get a tattoo?
Yes you will!
Another great video thanks
I just got a pair of 2019 Giro Proofs (normal fingers) and they have held up very well in intense rain for 2 hours.
Carbon with mounts ❤
Hey,you Guy got an Bombtrack Frame already ! I'm still waiting fof my Hook witch should come in a few Days.And i am living in Austria.... Must be some Vip Deal :) Joking...

Youll be stoked on your Hook! I will def be talking about this thing more soon!
Balls plus-informative
I use my snowboard helmet, goggle and balaclava for this weather.
You're a badass, Dustin. I can't say I would be so sure of myself heading out in conditions like that, much less filming throughout.

Just an $800+ rain setup. No biggieeeeeeeeee
Great video Dustin 👍 Have u ever thought of wearing more visible clothing though to give u a better chance of being seen by other road users in weather like u encountered? I have a Matt black bike but try to stand out a little more for safety but thanks for sharing all of your outings
Great video, I always like your videos.
So gnar!
Dustin- I’m a new follower. Just came upon your 686 cadence jacket. Would love to purchase one, but can’t find any availability. Can you help me? Suggestions?
Those are long gone I am sorry to say!
that Bombtrack. .. .. . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !!!!
Loving the Diverge with fenders in the snow. What tires?
LOL that was not planed! The tires are 33's stock tires that came on the Diverge.
I know that so many cyclist love tubeless but why? What do you feel when you're cycling that makes tubeless better? I am mulling over getting some for my bike as the wheels I have are tubeless compatible but I still have tubes. I understand that tubeless are less likely to get punctures but how is it that they ride better? Maybe another video idea for you Dustin :-)
Dustin, could you do a video on homemade ride nutrition?
Intro of the edit that will release on the 31st of this month covers this topic! Thanks for asking.
Continued badass!!
nice!
Any chance for Cadence to make a more hiviz jacket than the one you are wearing in the vid.
I dont think that is in the future cards for cadence ;/
do a drift video on the snow!!!!
Can you please tell me the model of the bicycle fenders? Didn't find them in the description. The link will work too.
What happened to the sound at various points?
I know it's not really your vibe but would you do a deeper review of that bombtrack? I want something with hella clearance but if I buy something it better last forever and be the dopest thing i've ever seen
I will def talk more about the bombtrack as I build it up.
Thumbnail on point
I'm sure this is a lazy question but where can I get one of those frame pumps
My spouse won’t let me bike in winters. That means I am off my bike for 6 months :’(
Love you Canada 🇨🇦
Don’t you find it a pain in the arse to change down gears with sti shifters in them Gloves?? I always struggle when it comes to winter gloves
So far its been all good. I havent run into any issues, grateful for that.
“What the F!”- snow plow guy
HA!
6:14 Nice skid. ;-)
any recommendations for rain pants for extra tall riders? i wear 36" inseam pants with a 34" waist.
The Showers pass Refuge have the best length Ive seen so far: bit.ly/2FB2HRU
That looks so sketch. how often do you loss the front wheel?!
I am interested bicycling
Make video on new bicycles
What's up with your Chrome secret?
Wait for you it.....
Where is it you ride
Clear lenses for riding in periods of inclemency??
I run RX photochromic (transition) lens they work best for all scenarios.
Are there any bibtights that are water repellent?
great question. the closest thing I can think of is the showers pass "skyline" over pants: bit.ly/2FgsYs7
Ears, fingers, toes
genitals, nose
when a cold wind blows
you must cover those.
So you're selling the Acent?
Good question. I think at this point I am holding on to it. I need to make sure this New set up works better then the Ascent before Ill get rid of it.
I was watching another UA-camr on a Japanese Channel and he was using aluminum foil around his feet I can have any comments on that
Nope
What's with riding a bike wearing all black trend? don't you want to be seen? I get it looks cool but not really worth getting hit for. As for gloves wear neoprene kayak paddling gloves and you don't have to worry about them getting wet they work better wet. Any hard shell pant works and any rain jacket works. Why spend all this $$$.
Im into the kayaking gloves idea!
