What’s everyone doing in terms of gearing up with their winter togs?
Mine have got a bit battered over the last couple of seasons and it’s time to renew but I don’t like one piece suits or the big heavy coats that come with the bib ‘n brace two piece suits.
Instead I’ve gone for a heavy bib ‘n brace under which I will wear a onesie type of base layer (a bit like a giant baby romper suit) because I don’t like tight fitting thermals and even merino wool tends to make me sweat, a heavy jumper over that should then see me right for the majority of sessions with the addition of a heavy fleece over that if things are really parky.
Some new merino wool socks (my feet never sweat in winter), gloves and a thick wooly snood to complement the whole ensemble but there will be no compromise on the hat though
I’ve still got my original Sundridge Igloo Mk I jacket which, despite many years of wear is as good as new, if I need it for wet weather.
Anyone else doing anything any different this time around?
And any recommendations for the heavy fleece zip up jacket, preferably with a hood?
