For socks, I use old woolen hillwalking socks, which are perfect. Good socks for walking are quite expensive if you just want to wear them for cycling, but I expect that cheaper woolen socks would be just as warm.

I find over-shoes more effective than thick woollen sock. This is because they cut out the wind (from cycling). Thick socks might mean that your shoes fit too tightly causing circulation problems and thus not helping. I wear woolly boolies - warm but not too thick.

Good point, Amir. I use overshoes as well!

After an early visitation from the fairy, I ended up cycling in summer kit this morning - lovely and warm.

Too warm yesterday with the long sleeve lycra thing, the wooly lidl jumper and decathlon waterproof (new) ditched the jumper today and much better. nicee new dayglo yellow gloves too I was blinding myself as I started my ride, reminds me, need new night glasses as the previous lidl ones proved the only bad buy from there so far being as they are foam padded around the entire eye socket and steamed up, also the option for elastic strap to keep them on your bonce means they're hard to get off and out of the way - cue glasses over mouth and mild discomfort around the ears with helmet straps getting in the way
That said the winter of 2010 was a good one, nearly what a foot of snow in town? Never seen that before, all hinges on the jet stream which does look like it could be cold at weekend and Mon/TuePosted 11 years ago #
