uh, define uncomfortable. I rarely wear hats aside from baseball caps, but under armour is great stuff. Fuente is correct. You need to keep your core warm. If you prefer other stuff, wear layers.

Hi, I'm the same level as you and yes I would love to have my hands back, screw walking. Being cold is just part of our injury, it does get slightly better the longer post you are. I stay indoors a lot in the winter and even fall, that is the worse season imo, a lot of times I do sit infront of a space heater, I realy like vornado heater/fan, looks safer and very comfertable and even heat destribution.

Just saw where your from, have no idea what your seasons are like.

Some as me. I can sit for hours in the sun, and nobody believes us, I think bean cold is worst then to not be able to walk..

Getting in my stand and doing my cardio workout helps raise my temp, otherwise I drink a lot of hot chocolate in the winter.
