Winter Kit

[Allrounder]

windbreaker, arm and leg warmers, and thermal vest from rapid sport in town. 

If you are still cold, news paper under your shirt, and you can toss this when it gets warmer.

another question to the thread:  long sleeve top or short with sleeves?

 

I never seem to be warm enough with short sleeve and arms - then too hot with windproof gilet especially when mountain biking!

 

Enjoy and first ascent have long sleeve the look a bit warmer over the chest the a normal short sleeve? 

 

Long sleeve under layer with a normal short sleeve cycling shirt on top works for me. Can get a bit too warm if the temperature towards the end of the ride hits like 18-20 but otherwise its ok.

Now.. why dont they make gilets (and maybe jackets too) in a 3 pocket design as the shirts have!?

Rain? Don't want water in pockets.

 

And you already have 3 pockets in your jersey. Why do you need 6?

eyelets in the pockets for rain or non-rainproof material for the pockets only

 

Because when I reach for my sarmie its not there... but under my snug elasticated lined gilet

I bought this one. Cheap, keeps the wind off you and warm enough for our PE winter.

I have one of these jackets from anatomic , does a good job of keeping the wind and rain out.

Good price and it folds up into a small ball so you can just pop it into your back pocket if you need to.
