They do make a difference, particularly when the radiator is on an outside wall.

Brought from't shops - after exchanging for money...
My contribution would be a merino buff / snood / neck tube from the great CRC / Wiggle corpse-picking of 2024. Bought two as they were half price or less; which then sat in the drawer all year without any proper use.
One's since had a couple of outings in the really cold weather earlier in the year and proven to be really versatile and warm; great for keeping the wind chill off the nose / face and maintaining core warmth by prevening heat loss around the neck.
Certainly won't see as much use as the base layers I bought at the same time, but invaluable when really cold

Now that is showing your age(s)
Technically it's his wife's age that's showing. @Tenkaykev could be a youthful toy-boy

£25 repair stand from Lidl - not fantastic but I don't really need anything better. The only time I have regrets is when I don't use it and try to do stuff on the bike.
From time to time it has been remarked that I look much younger than my age, though that's almost certainly down to genetics and a relatively active lifestyle. My stock response if someone says this is to credit a " lifetime of celibacy and abstinence " 🤣Technically it's his wife's age that's showing. @Tenkaykev could be a youthful toy-boy

A pair of thin insoles.
I bought some quite expensive Brasher walking shoes, which were never really comfortable. In hindsight, I should have rejected them and gone elsewhere, but I ended up buying them, thinking that they would stretch and conform to my feet. I wore them a few times but they just weren't quite right for my squashed up toes.
But then I realised that the insoles were removable, and were quite thick. So I replaced them with some thin ones and hey presto! the shoes are really good now.

I bought a laser device - no not for shooting at stuff - for setting handlebars straight, it clips to the bars and sends a line of light forward onto the tyre, no more setting by eye then spending the whole of a ride trying to decide if the bars are straight!
I took a chance and bought it from an Instagram ad, I think it was £20 - it took ages to arrive, an exceptionally slow boat from China.
It came in a nice tin box like the one granny always kept her Mintoes in and so far it hasn't burst into flames so I call that a win!

Great bit of kit!
It used to take me ages and a considerable amount of language to get that right.
