list of warm things:
shoes that are a size to big winter to allow for a thin pair of socks and a pair of sealskin socks
lycra tights under baggy 3/4's
lycra shorts under baggy 3/4's with kneewarmers if needed
lycra bib shorts with sugoi cycling (mtb) trousers
lycra under altura drylines trousers for when it's absolutely pissing it down
an old scott-team roubaix fabric jersey
a merino baselayer (made by icebreaker)
a gore next2skin windstopper jacket with removable sleeves
a gilet made of windstopper/pertex fabric with a breathable mesh back
lycra armwarmers
goretex xcr jacket (or an e-vent fabric one)
windstopper gloves, tried the really thick ones and didn't like them, windstopper is thin but still warm.
a buff.
overshoes? (haven't got any yet as i wear goretex shoes for the mtb) may use these or sealskins?
all this stuff is really expensive but i'm done with being cold and uncomfortable on the bike, i have used cheap waterproofs but they are boil in the bag and not worth the money (imho) if your budget is tight i would go for a windstopper jacket and a pair of lycra shorts or padless lycra tights to wear under cut down combats.
