Stay Warm! Fox Racing Cold-Weather MTB Gear Review
It's cold outside but you're still jonesing to mountain bike. In this video, take a look at three pieces of @foxracing gear that can make chilly temps more tolerable on your next winter ride. We're joined by @TheOutsiderMTB for some fast laps between snow storms at Skypark Bike Park (1:20), an overview of the gear (5:46), and a thorough report of his findings after three months of use (8:00).
