Other than the warming of the legs, i find that using embro helps repel water and mud. whatever mud that accumulates on the legs just wipes off after the race. You don't have to scrub your legs or spray cold water to get all the mud off.

Mad Alchemy! not available here in the UK. Just good old fashioned and the highly imaginatively named 'Sports Balm'.<br />
Takes ages to kick in, but see's me through the wet winters.

I started off using Elite thermogel. Good starting point I think. Your LBS can order it via BTI or QBP.

ha ha, that's funny. I have used the leg salsa as well with the same results. Kinda strange, but does feel good when you are tired and sore. Nice slow burn.

Someone's read all the threads? :D<br />

There is a mental component too. I am not sort of softening up to say just avoid using it when there is a risk of hypothermia. In those cases a thick heavy mild formula would be warmer (for your core body temp) than the medium or hot.<br />
<br />
but<br />

I'll tell yall a little secret...<br />

I've tried some other brands like Record and Born but now I exclusively use Mad Alchemy. I live in Michigan so we have some cold 'cross races. The medium warmth seems to be the perfect temp. I have both the regular medium and the Russich Thee (this is my personal favorite).<br />
<br />
I got it online directly from Mad Alchemy - they are a great company, easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions I had (how do you get this stuff off? - dry towel and baby wipes was the response - seems to…

It looks like mad alchemy is the winner!<br />
<br />
I would go through a local shop, but this is California and I have yet to see <u>any</u> embrocation at my LBS's.<br />
<br />
I am starting to get scared for Bend, OR. Reports from there last week was snow/sleet! This is my 3rd year racing cross I still haven't gotten any mud!

chomperbody.com has a new one called "crank."<br />
<br />
Check your lbs, if they carry cross stuff, they should have something for you to save on shipping.
