How do you keep your gentleman area warm??

nicube

I'm really struggling in these temperatures, I go out in all weathers and have a couple of quality bibs by Castelli and Northwave but I can't keep that most important of areas warm! Did 20 mile jaunt this morning in 4-6 degrees C and I swear mine disappeared

Any tips folks?

I don't , they're both winter bibs and very cosy elsewhere just not that bit :oops:

Deep Heat on your Old Man ??!! *shudders*

I swear by woolie boolie merino socks to keep my feet warm at this time of year, so why not shove something similar down the front of your shorts?

I seem to cope OK with a thermal base layer and roubaix bibtights. Pull the baselayer down at the front and scoop tackle in; has the added benefit of ensuring you don't accidentally sit on your plumbs!

Last time I saw Deep Heat being applied to genitalia was on the coach on the way back from a school rugby match. The anguished cries of the victim still haunt me :shock:

DON'T USE DEEP HEAT!

Get some thermal tights. If you really don't want to do that then wear boxers like a heathen.

But you don't want to be a heathen right?

I wore these for the first time this morning. Worked a charm.

I got two pairs of these updated Vaeons, you might as well call them UK All Year Round bibs as they will probably get worn until late June, 1 day without leg or knee warmers, then back to these.
Excellent quality.

Tin foil between layers maybe ? I've used it to block vents in my hat before now - and it folds down to nothing if it gets too hot too.

+ 1 for Deep Heat... this thread deserves it... :twisted:

I must admit, I too struggle with this "issue" Always get a cold bell end :shock:

If you cycle long enough it'll disappear up into your body and keep it warm :-)

There is one thing you can do that will keep your gentlemans sausage warm ;-) I'm not sure if it would be possible on a bike though.

You don't keep him warm at this time of year. Just accept that you get cold and you are transgender for a little while.

Two tips:

1. Don't undress in front of your wife/GF after a long winter ride unless you have a penchant for ridicule.

2. Keep the shower temperature down until the necessary warming up has happened.

that's exactly what I did do, she found it most amusing I thought I'd broke it

Look on the bright side. Certain MPs pay a woman in leather and high heels £500 for that experience. Use the £500 you have saved for a winter trip to Majorca.

You have two pairs so wear two pairs - at the same time.

That will also wipe the smile off the wife''s face as the laundry basket fills twice as quick.

merino willy warmer?

I guess if the old chap does go in to hiding when it's cold, at least it would reduce drag ;-)

Alugenius

Put a sock on it. Nuts and all. Works a treat.

You could chuck on these over shorts for an extra layer.

nicube

Thanks guys, appreciate all the suggestions, I don't know about wearing two bibs as I reckon I'd get too warm everywhere else, think I'm gonna try the sock suggestion

I discovered it accidentally when "shaving" my legs. Use sparingly.

The wife normal keeps my gentleman area warm. Although if it's rather cold then it can take her a while to find it.

I did a 25 mile run this morning 4-5 C and used a Giro Merino sock! Didn't make much difference, still pretty much disappeared though I can say I wasn't as uncomfortable as without so must have helped a little!
