Me? Full tweeds, albeit it i tuck the Plus fours into my socks. If things turnvrealky cold I warm my hands on a pipe full of shag.

I find the old adage of layering good. Today leisure cycling was winter bib longs (with wintex), a long-sleeve base layer (with wintex), a winter softshell, a gilet first thing, a cycling cap, a helmet (its good for keeping your head warm ). On colder days I wear overshoes, a buff, thicker socks, glove liners and waterproof over jacket. For the commute, I cycle in normal clothes and its short so sometimes a thin fleece has went under the jacket or cyclibg long-johns under the trousers and/or overtrousers.

For most of this summer, I have been wearing a Brass Divers Helmet with tinted glass windows and a NASA approved Pressure-Suit. God Knows what I'm going to wear this WINTER ?

It's about my feet, as I have poor circulation, so as long as I have wooly socks and neoprene overshoes, I am usually ok.

...possible some toe covers as well.

on a morning ride today the temp was about 4 degrees,and i past on a hill a group of more aged riders,one lady was stopped at the top of the road awaiting her group,as i drew up closer i spotted she was wearing a pair of what looked like a pair of boots made of a animals fur,i bet she never got cold,and they were a good 8 miles from any where,so they were putting in a few miles,so the question is ,is this the way forward

for my legs I wear Lycra tights with wool rib tights underneath, yes I know there for females, but they keep my legs warm and I don't mind crossdressing
