New to winter riding - what clothes I must have?

Try some merino wool. A lot of people say they are allergic to wool , when really, it just makes them itchy. Merino, especially the lighter weight stuff is soft and cuddly.

Unfortunately, I have a true allergy to wool, per a skin prick test. This isn't "it's itchy", like a sensitivity, but a real allergy (hives, swelling). It's the lanolin the wool. For those that have a sensitivity or real allergy, there are plenty of synthetic options out there. I personally like to keep everything as natural as possible, but in this case, can't.
