What winter clothes do you wear for your commute

[markharry66]

Now the cold has finally got here just wondering what winer clothes you wear on the bike to keep warm. I thick walking socks that could proabably walk to the wash by themelves once spring comes, over shoes (halfords cheap and cheerful) just about keep the cold out, cycling gloves I got on ali express suposedly keep you hands warm down to minus 4 ( i wear inserts as relise this is bull) and wollen hat with built in light just and extra so I can be seen or in most cases ignored on the road.

Bottom layer, bib shorts and either bib tights (one pair has a windproof section) or MTB trousers on the commute.

Top, then I have base layer then just a top layer. Above freezing, then it's a softshell with windproof front, below zero then I have a Decathlon Thermal Windproof which is really warm. Down side of that is it's black, so I pop on a Gillet which is hi-viz for commuting.

Feet, just socks and winter boots (best invention ever).

Hands, either MTB gloves or thicker night vision ones for very cold days. I also have some Madison windproof ones via Decathlon - cheap and seem to do the job.

Head, windproof skull cap under the lid.

Note, some people get colder extremities like hands and feet, so one person's suggestion won't work for others.
