New Winter Kit

I went for my first winter ride last week. I was kitted with arm warmers and leg warmers but it was cold, so cold I had to bail after three laps of the park. I needed winter kit badly. Really I should invest in a gilet first but the temperature in the mornings here has dropped so much and I’m a pretty skinny guy I’ve picked up a jacket, tights and winter gloves. I think the jacket with a jersey and maybe a base layer will be a good combination for my size. I will need toe covers but couldn’t find any plain black ones yet. Check out what I got so far.

Castelli Leggerezza BibTights

Rapha Pro Team Gloves

I’ll update when I get out for a ride morning ride this week. The tights have a wind proof front which should help a lot in that area. The lycra wasn’t protecting anything from the cold!
