Anybody else resorted to a base layer yet?

[nickyboy]

Yeah started getting cold a few weeks ago here... Base layer, long sleeved top and flouro waistcoat thing for me. Plus gloves and a buff.

With you on everything except the buff. Buffs are ghey

Resorted to a base layer( ie vest)??

Base layer is the norm, I manage without one for a few weeks in the summer.

Likewise. Although this year seems to have been the exception to that rule and I managed a good few weeks without a semmit.

As from last Sunday I'm in winter bibs, merino mix long-sleeved base-layer, winter socks and over-socks (I am considering over-shoes slowly), winter gloves, merino scarf and Belgian-style hat.

[alright... maybe soft shell as well occasionally]

I'm a bit further north than you. They're a requirement when it's proper cold...

I wore my new 'winter' base layer for the first time last weekend. It's a roll neck which you call pull up like a buff and is a thicker grade of merino. All I needed was a jacket over the top.

Saw someone fully wrapped up this morning, buff, scarf - only a thin slit of eyes visible under a load of woolen wear.

I did wonder what he/she (couldn't tell) is going to wear when it gets a bit chilly

..yeah..I'm still riding shirtless in speedos...

Been wearing my Ba Ba for a couple of weeks now.
Should take it of and give it a wash really.

It was minus 11 with wind chill today, by the time I had all my kit on I was in a sweat - until I went outside that is!
I had one of those string vest base layers when I used to commute, it wasn't quite dry so I thought I would run the iron over it, I don't think I ever found a way to unglue it from the iron. There's a lesson here - never attempt to iron synthetic clothing.

i only have aldi compession layers so this week i have been wearing a ss jersey with arm warmers under the aldi roubaix l/s jerseys with a reflective gilet and normal shorts under ron hill bikesters as we havw had a couple of frosts on my commute and that windchill has been biting.

I wear a base layer all year round unless it is exceptionally hot. It wicks the sweat away and stops me getting clammy next to the skin. I do sweat a great deal!

+1.
