Given how hot it is outside, I can hardly even think about this thread.
But my favorite pieces for cycling - lots of which are just stuff I had for skiing or hiking that work. My problem with cold weather cycling is that it takes me longer to get warmed up, and then when I'm warmed up, I'm absolutely baking and strip down to shorts and short sleeves, and then I'm freezing if I stop moving. So I try not to stop moving, I try to use layers.
- ibex arm warmers & leg warmers.
- Ibex serrano jersey - thin, zip up wool - very warm for its weight, full zip so I can vent and it does let the wind through some which cools me down.
- mammut ultimate hoody - windproof softshell, lightweight, its pitzips basically unzip from your underarms down the entire sides of the jacket
- arc'teryx gamma sv vest - windproof vest.
- I usually have some sort of fleece or windproof neck gaiter that I can put over my face.
- full fingered gloves.
