It's a little crotchet bobble hat and gaberdine mac. Used by professional cyclists in the cold mountain stages.

If you say so , but that kind of bravado didn't help the 500-odd riders who ended up pushing their bikes up Asterton Bank on the first ever Ride Across Britain.

Serves them right for not investigating an easier route.
