Question from Newbie - what do you wear

[Mimosa]

I rode with those ladies yasterday afternoon and talked about their idea. They said they got the idea from some cycling magazine a few years ago. The article stated that many pros in Europe (men and women) wear a pair of "high end" pantyhose during winter.

I am from europe (the netherlands) and believe me 'Never heard of it'.

I have got long fleece tights, long sleeve shirts and a wind blocker jacket so far. Per your suggestion, I should get long fingered gloves, themal underwear, shoe covers, cap..... ugrrrr

What I normally wear in the winter are those footless long legged cycling bips (and when freezing cold I wear leg warmers under that), a sweat shirt, a (ski) turtle neck long sleeved shirt, a good thermal cycling style jacket, shoe covers, a cap which fits undet the helmet, thermal long fingerred gloves.
