Winter cycling wear

7

Decathlon has a really good range of winter cycling gear. I bought a winter top, a winter cycling jacket and cycling gloves which worked really well

A waterproof winter jacket, Base Layer, long sleeve layer, long winter tights/ leggings, waterproof shorts/ trousers. Layers are the key thing here. You can get easily removable arm warmers and leg warmers. Also a buff for neck/ ears. Fleece ear muff, clear/yellow goggles or sports glasses. Lots of flashing, bright lights. At least 2 on front and 2 on back.

Oh Yeh, waterproof gloves and socks.

DHB on Wiggle is good value. Layers will be your friend in winter as you can pare them back as you warm up. A good pair of Roubaix fabric long tights will also keep you nice and toasty

All of the above! So as not to go over previous excellent suggestions:

Also overshoes - thick neoprene ones.

Tights with a bib are cozier - wiggles DHB has a pair where it’s more of a vest type construction than braces.

I have reynauds so really suffer even with really warm gloves. I find what works best is popping a windproof shell mitten over. But that’s only really applicable if you find warm gloves don’t work well enough for you.

I also have a proviz reflective gilet... not for warmth but to help me be seen.

If I'm sweaty then I'm warm so I just peel stuff off. I think I'm not understanding something.

I find I have to keep skin all covered, but down to a single thin layer to avoid overheating.

Sleeves are good. ear covers, 2-3 prs of gloves, 2 prs of socks, Neck buff... and my latest discovery is clear specs (like sunglasses but not shaded). Coz my eyes get cold too, on a bad day.
