I have an original Galibier mistral lite (when it had sleeves) which is a bit more water resistant that probably gets more use on changeable days. Think they have that as a gilet as it's current iteration.

It's a real pain spending good money for something that is ultimately too small/large - it's worth taking the time to check.https://www.castelli-cycling.com/us/customer-service/size-charthttps://www.endurasport.com/support/sizing/

So looking for long sleeve jersey recommendations; Galibier Roubaix jersey/ looks good & Galibier are highly recommended here. Would ye recommend that or something else? I saw that Aldi have one for a tenner...... Cheers, Pa.

In the rain I'd rather just go for a walk so won't need anything waterproof. Are a pair of tights OK to put on over them or would I be better off buying something similar but with full length legs? I got a pair in Aldi today and the pad is like sandpaper compared to the galibier one.

I've had a couple of pairs of Decathlon leg warmers over the years and neither have gripped properly.There's nothing worse that a chilly commute home in the dark in sheeting rain and feeling the knife edge of wind at mid thigh. I'm willing to believe the Decathlon ones aren't great (the silicon gripper at the top isn't the most inspiring lookin), but do others suffer the same problem?

I’d like to get some gear this month, and then another bit with my next pay cheque. Looking at the following... 1. Winter bib tights (I have 3/4 length currently) 2. Windproof warm jersey 3. Waterproof jacket (probably Galibier mistral) 4. Gilet maybe Not sure how keen I am on arm warmers leg warmers. What do you think I should prioritise out of that list?

Waterproof jacket (possibly Galibier mistral foul weather, if could get something less expensive would prefer it as I'm thinking I'd use the long sleeve jersey more) 3. long sleeve base layer 4. hat to go under helmet (have a snood atm) 5. gloves (I have a pair of non-cycling gloves atm). I already have a gilet (Galibier of course) and find it great- it this current weather I wear it over a Munster 'training top/like a tracksuit top but better' In preference am thinking of going for 1, 3, 4 then 4, 2 and 5.Logic- I haven't cycled that much in rain yet, am working from home so if weather is very wet won't go out. therefore would get more use out of a long jersey (with gilet & long sleeve base layer if v cold). hat would be cheap I think so why not get it not, the snood is doing the job but no harm in having head and neck coverage. If I'm getting wet/out in the rain much could then get the Galibier mistral foul weather and wear that instead of the long sleeve jersey. Or just get an inexpensive, very light waterproof to go over the long sleeve jersey...... For you, I'd go with: Gilet- versatile Windproof warm jersey- ideal if not wet winter bib tights (if very cold. Or could jet get leg warmers) waterproof jacket I could be 100% wrong, I'm just trying to figure it out myself as well.... Cheers, Pa.

They're close to €90 delivered which is more than I wanted to spend but might be worth it knowing I already like the Peloton.
