Recommend a warm top

[MichaelW2]

Base layer, shell and stuff in between.Sleeveless gillets can be worn inside or outside the shell.
In winter the only rear pocket you can access is your shell so you dont need them on every layer.

I throughly recommend one of https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/sugoi-rs-180-jacket-jersey.208533/

Paramo Velez Light Smock.
Expensive, bulky , great to wear, warm, breathable waterproof. Worth every bloody penny....

Base layer:

Long sleeved merino wool top:

Gilet (optional):

And a wind or rain jacket depending on the conditions.

what's that dhb base layer dayvo? Looks interesting.

 

[Blue Hills]

Synthetic polyester base layer (Lidl), merino base layer, Roubaix tights, long sleeve cycle jacket, waterproof top. Two buffs are good. One over your bonce/ears, and one round your neck. Synthetic LJs and ski socks are good for morale.

Aldi's synthetic base layers (usually grey or light brown) are also pretty decent - surprising for something so cheap.

Thanks for all the advice folks. Thermals and cozy jacket on order .
Will hopefully b here for the weekend when the mercury is due to hit .......16Deg!!

Ah well, wont be long before its really cold

A good warm base layer indeed. Rogelli is hard to beat on pric/quality. As for a jacket I'd go for Sportful, some of their jackets (Gruppetto) have really good ThermoDrytex Plus on the shoulders that keeps you warm but not too sweaty.

I saw a guy out in short sleeves and shorts , made me cold just looking at him.

Must be my thin blood!

Don't worry about it. He was probably a Geordie.

Not if he actually had a shirt on, although the beer belly was likely keeping is core warm
