The RIGHT way to dress for fat biking on snow: Layering tips and tricks to THRIVE in the cold!

[@Mike-vd2qt]

Longmont, CO here. I like Patagonia Quandary pants, they're thin and flexible, breath well, dry fast, and with long johns the combo keeps you warm. Folding a cuff in them keeps them out of the chain. I've ridden with the Quandary pants commando at 40f deg with a Brooks B-17, and down to 25f with Patagonia poly long johns. ☮

Thanks for the detailed info! Ride on :)

[@dasoptics6706]

Cut that learning curve by watchin this! Love those glasses!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

🤣🤣 my absolute favorites 😎

[@kalesmith1664]

Dude, I love your videos. Just caught on to your channel a few weeks ago. Your video quality, cadence, and overall presentation is so far above typical cycling youtubers. Thanks a ton for the awesome content!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Wow thanks for the kind words- ride on!

[@teleotto]

A thin light wind resistant quick drying baseball cap with earflaps preferably lined with Brynje or other fishnet is my holy grail of head wear. When its snowy/raining the bigger brim just shelters your glasses and face alot better than cycling cap brims.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@benjohn5429]

Thank you for the great info! I love your baseball hat with the flaps and have been wondering where I could get one. You should make this a merch item for your channel! It would be awesome!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks! That’s a great idea- maybe I should 🤔 ride on!

[@MrTeaStew]

Back in the 90s I would ride year round in Iowa. As long as it was 10 degrees or over I simply wore jeans, t-shirt, hoodie and a hockey jersey. The big thing was wind-proof gloves. I also taped off the front vents in my helmet.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

I love it :) KISS principle 🤙🤙 ride on!

[@Marc_Plays_Outdoors]

L.L. Bean Knife's Edge pants were my go to pants for fat biking. I've dropped 36ish pounds since winter and I swim in mine, sadly been discontinued by Bean's and not much out there for them used on eBay. I picked up some Knaughtvind pants on a clearance sale and will try them out. I dress pretty lightly until below 15F, then add Meriano wool base layer under my pants and a tshirt under my Meriano wool top and uninsulated soft shell jacket. If needed, I add a packable vest for the first mile or so.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks so much for sharing! Ride on :)

[@garyhoffman1]

Norwegian brand Norrøna has the fjørå biking line that are great for colder weather. Some wool netting under and you are warm and dry.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@CHAT316]

Always enjoy your informative videos my friend. Keep up the good work!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching :)

[@rasmusredfire2667]

Still happy for the big iron aka sylvester :-) and is that the milhouse bar ? Happy trails and always happy time with you….cheers

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching :) Mone Light Bar (very similar to Milhouse) ride on :)

[@PumpkinVillage]

Nice set up . I learned less is more for short rides. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Well said🤙 thanks for watching! Happy Thanksgiving :)

[@Gillesgip]

Thanks for sharing! Sw ontario. Going out biking in an hour 😊

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Enjoy the ride!

[@KolbyBeaton]

Love all your videos Allen. What handlebars on on your Fatbike in the background?

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching :) those are Mone Light Bars. Love ‘em !

[@mediumrick7667]

Good timing. 18" in the past 24 hours here in Crowley.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

I heard the Eastside was getting dumped on! Get some 🤙

[@bigmac3006]

What eye protection goggles did you wear? Great vid!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks :) Just some off-brand ski goggles with magnetic lenses. They work fine: amzn.to/41lfkhb - ride on!

[@IowaNinersFan]

I have a pair of Giro goggles that I wear in the Winter time and they work for me. Would like to try a pair of Oakley Flight Deck Prism but their prices are more than what I'm willing to spend.

[@richardjacoby7812]

Very useful and informative video. Only thing missing.was a runway for the model. lol

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

🤣🍪

[@SteveJanney]

Great info! What are the dimensions and the make of the frame bag on the bike in the video?

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Rogue panda 🐼- custom bag, not sure of dimensions, I’m out of town for Thanksgiving but if you need the info, I can measure when I get home - email dirtyteethmtb at gmail - ride on!

[@IowaNinersFan]

I bike commute year round and yes, ski pants work just as well if not better than those so-called waterproof bike pants. Whatever keeps water out and heat in will do.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing your insight! Ride on :)

[@KimFoster-vc7qr]

19.06 UK time. On the Fat Pursuit what sleeping mator mats did you use please. I am doing this event in 2025 , I am from the UK and if temperatures drop to -3 c its the start of another ice age 😂. Thank you.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

For FP I usually take a thermarest closed cell foam pad (ridge rest or z lite) one rolls up and other one is like an accordion… but they’re pretty much the same… ill be at FP, say hello if you see me :)

[@KimFoster-vc7qr]

Thank you for the quick reply. I look forward to meeting you. Great channel by the way 👏

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

@@KimFoster-vc7qr Thanks :) see ya out there!

[@TarmacSkin]

Ive used 44 nrth but nothing in my wardrobe beats the Stio Pinedale… Catch them on sale for Black Friday.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

I’m keeping a lookout too! That’s how I got my last pair :) good luck !

[@Dan.Cordeiro]

What would you recommend for someone that has allergies to wool?

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

The synthetic materials still wick well, they just get stinkier than wool… just don’t wear cotton 🤙 ride on!!

[@teleotto]

Check out Helly Hansen Merino. The dual layer type with polypropylene on the inside. Or just a thin synthetic under your wool.

[@GHinWI]

For me, cold weather riding is all about keeping the wind out. Windproof jacket, mittens, & boots are the main things or I’m a goner.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mamterilleq]

Who’s excited to ride on snow and ice?!!! I attempted to ride to a near by village here on the lower kusko over the weekend. The Overflow was too deep for me to make it all the way. Enjoyed the ride though!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing - sounds like a fun adventure!

[@mrcha0s]

I sweat so much that no amount of wicking saves me

[@SteveJanney]

I'm in that boat as well

[@jimp65]

I used to sweat because of too many layers. I started just wearing a merino wool medium weight base layer and my winter riding jacket, that’s it! I was surprised how warm I stayed, I believe because I wasn’t sweating.

[@mrcha0s]

@jimp65 yeah, that's what I do now. Literally wear light clothes. When I run it's even worse. T-shirt and shorts no matter how cold it is

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing… I’m a heavy sweater too, and ill still get a little damp, but this system still keeps me warm… and as long as I slow the exertion down for 5-10 min before I’m gonna finish or stop for a while, I dry out pretty well - ride on!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

💯

[@freshiesat9]

I may be braking the rules but I love the fleece lined pants from Costco for fat biking. They are warm and water resistant.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Awesome, thanks for sharing :) I’ll have to check those out 🙌

[@54andBored]

Ugh hate winter clothes but what can I do. Snow biking does look fun even at my age lol

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for sharing :) Ride on!

[@IowaNinersFan]

Snow biking is extremely fun and you do lose more weight than you'd think. That's what I tell my coworkers when they say I'm crazy. I get the trails and roads to myself and snow biking is like gravel riding except on ice and snow.

[@ellerybice3787]

[@DirtyTeethMTB]
