Lean muscle is a poor insulator..

Layering is key. In winter, just wear ALL your summer clothes.

wouldn't work for hippy though, 7 layers of lycra and 100 pink shirts... all the same size, too tight.

Makes me muscles look big.. you're getting moist ain't ya?

anyone got any decent cheapish recommendations for lycra tights?

Dont worry, i will only be wearing them under other things ;)

wiggle/chain reaction always have cheap stuff, rakan.

ungh...i hate the word 'moist'.

Moist? What's wrong with the word moist? Especially in London where the ground is often moist the leaves are moist and cake from Eat is moist..

Yes, I am a cnut. :-)

layers? just get a buffalo top. pile / pertex big face has done me for 12 years so far and is still fine worn on its own. One layer, any temperature. Wear it in the rain, snow, drizzle, whatever. Forgot I even had it til the other day then wore it when it was miserable the couple of weeks back, and teamed up with a full face windstopper balaclava, nowt will bother you.

yeah i hear plenty of good about buffalo tops,

Wool wool wool. I've started wearing a wool jersey. t'is warm. as for legs I don't notice too cold yet and it's 7ºC here now in the mornings. Head and hands is the thing.

Bumped for Zee

hippy Why? It keeps your head warmer and the peak helps keep rain and sweat off your face.
Having said that, I only have an ear warmer thingie to go under my helmet. Don't own any cycling caps.

I have a few ear warmers. Rad.

The top of my head can't be covered. Mad sweaty hot.

I got my mum to make me one, got one from ebay and one was a hulk hogan headband that I got from a charity shop. It looked daft though and was way less effective than the others.

Buffalo tops are awesome, but I personally find them too hot for more than about 10 mins of cycling. I go for base layer then windstopper - your own body heat will keep you warm after a while...
