Now that it's getting a bit chilly I wear a synthetic body-hugging base layer and then a Gore ALP-X jacket. If it rains I put on a Paclite jacket.
On a couple of nights over the last two weeks my chest, kidneys, and lower arms have been cold so I'm looking for a mid-layer to slot into my layering system.
Any thoughts? I thought about a Craft jersey which has a windproof chest?
Got the Craft jersey excellent bit of kit.
But have just purchased a Rab Vapour Rise stretch top serves as base or mid hence very versatile.
Pricey but a superb bit of kit
bang a jersey on over the base layer sorted
Wear merino as a base layer and you'll stay warm. I've got a 260 weight Icebreaker that is worn on its own in the summer and then with a softshell on top in deepest winter.
I'm still in a ls t-shirt. thank **** I'm not ness 😀
Lusso winter jersey ftw! Honestly the bit of kit I've ever bought
Just wear 2 merino base layers, that's all I do when it's really cold. 1 long sleeve and a short sleeve over the top.
Lusso winter jersey ftw! Honestly the bit of kit I've ever bought
My Lusso winter bib tights are over 20 years old and the best bit of clothing I've ever bought.
I tend to just add a second base layer.
ditto the 2 base layers. If its really really cold I wear a short sleeved Gore one and a thick Merino or Helly on top, then shell. That said, I only wear a shell if proper wet, otherwise it's a warm softshell, Stealth or Phantom, and if I get cold on the ride pop a Gilet on top.
Vest and a soft shell is all I need. If its really cold - but dry I dig out a vintage Pace Racewear winteractive which is brilliant. Waterproofs only when it is really peeing down.
