I was given a new Silky last Christmas (to replace my old folder) but I tend to only carry it after wind events and first rides on trails that are best left alone for the winter. It’s pretty light so maybe I’m overthinking things by min-maxing when I carry it.
Re. Fire starter I used to carry waterproof matches but now have a butane lighter in my tool roll. I do often wonder about whether I could start a fire on the saturated Shore any time I’d really need one.
Will definitely consider adding a mid-layer. I generally ride on a long sleeve merino baselayer and H20 proof shell but you and Morgan are right to point out that’s not great if not moving.
