What's your #WinterGear for #cycling?
I'm surprised by how little equipment I need to do my ~18km per day at all conditions (so far):
* Waterproof Softshell Jacket (I have this one: dhb Trail Hooded Softshell Jacket)
* Waterproof Cycling Trousers (worn over my normal jeans, I have this one: O'NEAL TSUNAMI Rain Pants V.18 Black)
Only when the temperature goes below 0°C, I switch to my winter dufflecoat. And (at 5-10°C) I've gotten into several larger showers: The jacket and trousers really are watertight.
It's true: Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Klamotten! (There's no thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.)
@cweickhmann Use trekking pants optimised for cycling, with zippered legs. Upper body a thermo shirt, a long sleeved cycling top, and a light wind jacket. When it rains, I put on my rain trousers (seriously, used them for 30 years now 😬). They are not much protection from rain, but keep the wind out. If temperature below 0°C, I put on some shoe covers. And most importantly: some gloves and a thin hat under the helmet.
@cweickhmann I have two different covers. One pair are neopren, quite tight and a nuisance to put on, especially with cold fingers. The other pair are simple raincovers with velcro. I use the latter these days more often, they are easier to handle and protect from cold as well as the neopren.
