This month's featured product is Winston's Brand Cycling Skincare. Namely: their hot embrocation cream. I purchased this embro at the end of this past cyclocross season to see me through late November and December racing and was quite impressed with the product that they're producing. It is currently being made in small batches by two folks from Fort Wayne, IN. Although many embrocation cremes can keep you warm there are a few things that set this embro apart. The feel of the creme is clean and light and it doesn't leave an oily residue. It also lasts for quite a long time and smells great (a lot like pine). Most importantly though is that at Colorado CX states, when the temperature was near freezing, it kept my bare legs warm and cozy and propelled me to a 10th place finish despite having a terrible start and needing to pee the whole time. The next time you're looking for some Belgian knee-warmers I would definitely recommend skipping the mass-produced stuff and going for some Winston's. They have four heats of embro and also make chamois creme.
