EDIT: There's many good ideas for special cold weather clothing but I want to wear normal office clothes while commuting and have something easy to wear on top. I have zip off wind pants but even that gets tedious twice a day. The idea of the greaves, a windproof shield I could attach with a velcro strap to each leg came to me today. I didn't see if anyone has made this or maybe there is a better idea?
ORIGINAL:
So as most of us in colder climates have figured out the higher speed of e bike commuting means more wind chill. Below freezing I have a liner for ears and wear ski gloves. I can also wear suitable winter jacket. But my legs still get cold. Now I have worn long poly underwear and/or wind pants but these are not great solutions for commuting to work where I don't want to change in and out of special clothing.
I was thinking about some kind of half-pants or full leg greaves with velcro to easily put them on and off over regular jeans or slacks/trousers. I looked but I didn't see such a thing already existed but maybe I don't know what to search for?
Any other ideas?
