[Closed] Started buying new winter kit. You?

Nope, my winter kit year is still in the draw...suspect it may start to make an appearance soon (hopefully not all at once). I fear the lights maybe getting unpacked soon...so long summer 🙁

Got myself a Castelli Poggio jacket a couple of weeks back for £85 off CRC

As a resident of the north west of England, I don't need it. During the winter it'll be crackin 't flags, as usual, so I may add another pair of garish Speedo's to my extensive collection, for the commute

Of course I haven't started buying winter kit yet. I'm a man, I'll think about winter kit when my knees turn blue. Then wonder why the stuff I like is already sold out, bought by people who are more organised than I am.

[puts down sandwich, pushes plate away/]

my mw02s are dead after 10 winters ....- the heel box colapsed and the insides of both boots have worn through to the membrane - alas they leak.

im trying to force my self to press the button on a new set of mt91s.....

Sausage sandwich nickc?

I have enough winter kit to clothe a family of refugees stuffed in the loft (which I would donate if it wasn't all down based).

I'm glad someone on here is doing something for the less fortunate but maybe let them out for a bit of air every now and then?

Mr Woppit how did you find the top?

I've got a Gore Windstopper being delivered and I think it will be too small, had previously looked at the Shimano one.

This morning wore a 15 yr old 'waterproof' aka sweat bag. Cold at first, then boiling and sweating buckets, then freezing cold from sweat..

Just bought a Gabba 2. Feels good.

Gabba 2's are way out of my price league 🙁

Paramo jacket. Endura strike gloves. Same as last few years. And the next 30 probably.

And mine, normally. Had to sell a couple of things, and sweet talked my LBS into using my club discount. It was £135, reduced from £160, and precludes any further new bike bits for the foreseeable.

I kept thinking to myself- look at all the various jackets, jerseys, gilets, etc, that I have kicking around, how many of them do I use, and how much faffing about do I do before going out?

It might all backfire, I'll keep you posted.

Started buying bits and pieces earlier in the Summer.

Also bought these as my last pair lasted 10 years: [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/661-storm-gloves-2014/rp-prod112617 ]661 Storm Gloves[/url] Not good for below freezing, but ok for the general Winter weather we get down here in the shandy drinking softy southern lands. I can put glove liners in them as well.
