Excellent! just what the world needs, more cycle-wear that makes you look like a Douche.

currently im eyeing up one of these http://www.evanscycles.com/products/gore-bike-wear/cosmo-plus-windstopper-soft-shell-jacket-ec016061

but i do wonder whether soft shells are worth the money you pay (opinions welcome!?) but its pretty, and i have a student loan coming, so i may do something rash....

as often as possible

a bobble hat.

That Giordana I posted is from their top 'body clone' range, and is currently half price at CRC. Its mega soft and comfortable, and will keep you dry to a point. Its recommended for use under 5C, though I've been wearing mine with just my bibs under on windy 10C days comfortably.

Whoever said i had good taste? Camo is well ghetto innit....

SF: by dry 'to a point' what do you mean?

Its actually really waterproof for a softshell. During a long ride I got caught in a monsoon like rain storm. After 60mins the rain had just started to seep through the arms slightly. At this point, had I been wearing a standard rain jacket, I would be drowning in my own sweat anyway.

This sounds fair....

*The three layer material lends itself very well to keeping the body warm, with ample protection from the wind. It does struggle a little in heavy bouts of rain, but then it's not designed to be 100% waterproof. As it is then, it copes with most typical weather conditions superbly well. *

Oh, and it contains titaniun, so automatic win ;)

Ah, fun fun fun.

I was going to wear shorts - all winter. So far looking good, but there is a-ways to go.
Also ear muffs - a must for avoiding those cold head headaches you get.

I wear shorts all winter, I just put a pair of windstopper tights on before I put the shorts on.

^ Don't forget your nailpolish! ;)

Gore windproof full finger gloves= no one can see your nail polish

Tights under shorts don't count as shorts though do they?
They count as tights that you're not proud of. Tights that you're trying to cover up.

If I ever wear tights I have shorts over the top too....

Got it Saturday as my winter investment, Largely because it matches a hat that i own.

I think they exist independant of each other.

I've gone out just wearing the tights, and more commonly just wearing the shorts, ergo they are two seperate garments.

EDIT- with a T-shirt etc also.

I've worn earmuffs on the bike in winter ever since I was a kid, as I get really bad earache from the wind on the bike. Problem is, the only ones you can get are those fluffy ones and they make you look like a dick and/or a toddler. I've found this hat which I may splash out for to solve the problem:

Earflaps. Genius.
