help on clothing purchases

woozor

Im looking at ordering some cycling clothing tonight.

Im gonna purchase some bib tights/base layer and a jacket.

From what ive read that should do me in very cold conditions in our winter months plus essentials such as gloves etc.


Im gonna go for the DHB bibs and base layer however im undecided on a jacket.

I like this one but dont know if its what im after to keep me warm, windproof/waterproof?

Out of the 2, I'd probably go for the 1st 1, it's waterproof. Doesn't look like the 2nd 1 is. Although, that looks warmer.

another that caught my eye. dosent look waterproof though. thermal windproof i think.

I've got an endure and use it in the winter but it certainly isn't waterproof and I often wear another layer over the top when it's really cold

You possibly want to think about three layers with maybe a lightweight waterproof ( and fully windproof ) layer over the top of something like this as you get more options for the autumn and spring as well

Ok that counts the endura out then.

Any suggestions upto £60 mark for a nice jacket to keep me warm in winter riding. wind/water proof?

I've got an FS260 & it's great - good fit & warm for all but the most severe conditions. This with a base-layer/jersey when dry, then a packable waterproof over the top when it's ...er, wet.
