"wind chill"?? -10?? Cold??

You guys are kiddin', eh?

:eek:

What are you people talking about?

I bought a long sleeve referee shirt my first year, and have not worn it once. What's this "wind chill" thing anyway?

:)

I ordered the long sleeve weather beater (not the striped shirt) and I wear that underneath whenever its brutal. Couldn't be happier. It also does extremely well against wet weather.

UnderArmour Cold Gear is great for 55 degrees or less. It can get uncomfortable when the temperature rises especially with a warm sun beaming down upon you.

If it is windy add either a Windstopper pullover or a striped shirt with a Windstopper lining.

Turtlenecks are great for providing warmth around the neck but do not use them when it is raining because the collar will wick moisture inside your outer layer and make you cold and wet.

I tried the Under Armour gloves last year and they are great for those days when the hands get cold. They allow you to operate a watch as long as the button are good size.

Keep some Chap Stick or Blister some similar product in your bag to protect yourself from lip chap, especially, if you are a referee because you blow the whistle constantly.

Then pray for warm weather.

At 55 degrees with no wind, we are probably still in short sleeves, especially if the sun is still out. If there's wind, then we might go long, but I wouldn't wear actual UA cold gear unless its in the 30s, or low 40s with a stiff wind. That's where the other options I mentioned above come in handy.

Has anyone ever gone out as a crew in short sleeves and changed at halftime to long sleeves? In Texas, the weather can drop 30 degrees in literally minutes. It did today in less than 2 hours.
