What winter clothes do you wear for your commute

[blackrat]

Considering the crowded roads and the careless moronic drivers and the cold and the ice and the rain and just about all the utter misery expressed on these pages, this thread should be renamed: "Why you really don't want to be a cycling commuter'.

Merino socks , summer SPDs, and neoprene toe covers
Preference is Ron Hill winter tights.
Brynje mesh base layer, long sleeve
Alpha direct insulation layer 90-120g/m^2 weight
Windproof or waterproof chosen based on level of precipitation
Buffalo pile / pertex mitts
Cycling cap, supplemented by buff if really cold or sometimes beanie.

Worked just fine down to -6C of late. Coldest I’ve cycled is -11C and I suspect the above would be fine for that as well. Also fine at 10C etc.
