I do like an extra layer over my knees. I have had a couple of surgeries
and other injuries. Compression and warmth helps.

unusual enough that I have noticed. It will go away if I just flex the
joint a second. Not much has changed in the way I ride lately except the
temperature. When it was in the upper 30's/low 40's I was wearing 3 layers
on top and shorts with a pair of fairly thick long pants over the shorts.
I feel comfortable dressed like that but this only places one medium/thick
layer over my knees. My legs always feel cold to the touch after a ride.
Should I use knee warmers under the pants? Is it normal for knees to
require 2 layers in the winter? thanks, Arlo
