<p>The Craft Gunde shorts which are boxer briefs with the windstopper material are very good. Pretty comfortable under your shorts and keeps everything there a bit warmer. The other option is a thermal skinsuit. I have one from Voler that is very good. Have used that alone in temps as low as the mid-30s. I would be careful about putting any kind of embro on your privates.</p>

<p>It seems to me I've seen a pair of bike tights with a wind panel, Craft, PI??? I used to have a kit for nordic skiing that included a wind vest and tights with a wind-proof panel stitched on the front. A lot of Nordic equipment has wind panel integration because, as you can imagine this is a major issue with ski racing. I recall forgetting my wind brief when I went to a 15km freestyle/skate race in Leroy, MI back in the 80s. My package was so cold I thought I was in danger of frostbite. It…</p>

I recall forgetting my wind brief when I went to a 15km freestyle/skate race in Leroy, MI back in the 80s. My package was so cold I thought I was in danger of frostbite. It took me probably an hour before I could even whiz. Not good, that is one area of the body you don't want damaged by frostbite.</p>
<p>Although I think the company is now defunct, "The Hand" was essentially a fleece jock with a wind panel sewn on the front. That would be less likely to cause chafing, especially if the inside was prepped with a good embroc like DZ-Nutz or my other personal fave, Boudreaux's Butt-Paste.</p>

<p>plastic sandwich bag, works down to some pretty cold temps. the ones without the ziplock closures are the best, or just cut that part off.</p>

<p>So far this year the weather at the New England races has been warmer than usual. So I have not had a problem. We will see next year what happens. I am looking at the Craft brand windstopper briefs, any one try those? I have thermal long bibs for cold riding days, and that I have worn to the low 20's (f) and was good.</p>
