Hi all,
I'm not exactly new to cycling but I am to cycling in the cold..currently I own a helly hanson base layer that I believe is made from morino wool (apparently of the range designed for cold weather) on top of that, I wear my North Face Hyvent Waterproof (simply because I wanted a jacket that I could also wear off the bike)..
Now so far..this set up has worked pretty well..but the time has come where I want to take to the road again, but wearing the two items I just mentioned really doesn't seem to cut the mustard..I realise that you heat up as you cycle but I really do need some sort of Mid-layer..my outer jacket (waterproof isn't up for compromise, because in England, the chance of getting stuck out in the rain is very very likely)..
Question to you all is..what would be your recommendations..material-wise or even specific solution..It needs to be something that will not be too bulky, should wick sweat like my base layer (or almost) and keep me warm..
So far I've had micro fleeces suggested..and one example is the Endura Polartec Fleece (link below) please please help me out with your ideas
Many many thanks in advance
