It's hard to recommend a brand without knowing how much you want to spend. Personally I like Rapha stuff but I've only ever bought it in sales.

So far I've already got under armour base layers, top and bottom which I already use for golf when its freezing and I've been using these and putting my cycling shorts on top, but, I've just bought some DHB bib tights too. I've also got some winter gloves and rain jacket from Aldi which are great. Not invested in anything for the ears yet but it hasnt been that cold yet.

As I play golf, I've got a couple of really good Under Armour shell jackets, which I'll try at night when I'm out, but at the moment I'm still getting a mega sweat on and aren't getting cold. I'll get back to you though when the temperature drops.

Wiggle! I love the DHB kit.

The short sleeve Windslam jersey has impressed me a lot and its perfect for ~5-15c when combined with various other bits of clothing.

+1 for prendas. The santini longs (any of them) are good as is the new lightweight wind proof jacket (just got one).

I also just got a pair of the Super roubaix gloves which are great under fingerless mitts - a better autumn/spring option than heavy winter gloves.
