What else are you wearing today?

I thought this would be a place to post about the extra clothing you needed to wear this morning to combat the cold/wind/rain. If you write a list then quote yourself later it will be easy to keep track. If the thread gets long it would be interesting to see when the layers come off again. Of course its a completely pointless waste of time but hey. :roll:

For example
Yesterday:
Combats
T-Shirt
Old battered hoodie
Trainers
Cycling Gloves
Wooly Hat

Swim shorts over the top seems to have helped in keeping dry (or drier anyway)

LS jersey
Bib shorts

Was contemplating adding a base layer and switching to fleece lined tights if it gets colder but been alright so far.

In the rain:

Rapha knee warmers
Thin Gore arm warmers (came off after 15 mins)
Long fingered Endura wind-proof gloves

That's quite a lot of stuff! I would add that the Rapha stuff was from the sample sale (£80 for the three). Still, so much for saving moneys by cycling

Rapha winter hat
Rapha merino neck collar
howies long sleeved merino base layer
Rapha winter jersey
DHB Aeron bib shorts
Rapha winter tights
Rapha merino socks
Specialized cycling shoes
Planet X overshoes
Rapha winter gloves

The weather is really in between Autumn and Winter right now.

A couple of degrees either way and I'm either cold or boiling hot.

One thing that has helped my facial warmth this month - movember!
