Choice of clothes in this unusually warm weather

billyhead

Just wondering what you are wearing in this mild weather. Last weekend on my spins I was a little cold with a long sleeve winter baselayer and cycling jersey and buff for my neck. Tomorrow I was thinking of going with a light sleeveless base layer and winter long sleeve jersey but no buff, Any advice as to what should be worn to feel comfortable and not too hot or cold. Oh I forgot to mention I will be wearing long finger gloves aswell and leg warmers under my bib shorts,

Today I cycled to work in a T Shirt, tomorrow its meant to be a good bit colder, in the last week heading to work the temp has varied from 3C to 18C at @8am it is for sure unseasonably warm.

For me short sleeve jersey, base layer, bib shorts and arm warmers are sufficient. Arm warmers have the flexibility of being removeable if it heats up.

IMO, it's way too mild for knee warmers never mind leg warmers and the thoughts of a neck buff would make me feel ill. I like to have a bit of air flowing around the neck area even if it's minus 5.

I bring a pair of light gloves in the jersey pocket and use them if necessary.

I was out yesterday afternoon with bib shorts and long sleeve Jersey (windstopper front section) and no gloves and had to zip the Jersey down to my stomach to keep cool. It was silly warm for this time of year!!

Was out today wearing bib shorts , base layer, short sleeve jersey and arm warmers , I did a hilly enough route and had to stop at the top of the first climb to take base layer and arm warmers off , felt much more comfortable for the remainder of the spin , tomorrow us due to be around 9 degrees so ill prob wear the base layer again and arm warmers again and remove if necessary.

I take it day by day hour by hour..... temps are very different between 8 am and 5 pm.

At the moment I am in my winter gear as I only really have 2.5 sets of clothes.

Summer (warm weather)
Cycle shorts
Technical Tshirt
Light MTB gloves (sometimes)

Spring Autum (mind weather)
Cycle shorts
Technical Tshirt
Long sleve running "jumper"
Light MTB gloves or medium thermal gloves
Buff neck warmer (medium thermal)

Winter (cold weather)
Long insulated bib
Technical Tshirt
Long sleve running "jumper"
High viz cycling wind/rain proof coat
Buff neck warmer (medium thermal)
Sealskins thermal gloves
Sealskins waterproof socks (oh so warm)

At the moment I am wearing my winter gear minus the gloves/socks and I am bloody warm. The weather is so arseways I haven't a clue what I will need. The unusually warm days I find myself putting my jacket away. Someitmes I wished I took my shorts too, but I don't know what time I will be leaving work at so it could be incredibly cold.

Decided against the base layer today , so ended up wearing , short sleeve jersey , arm warmers , short finger gloves and bibshorts , was perfect , I'd say it'll be the same for tomorrow .
