    as the weather turns colder its nice to have some kit based incentive to get out there so how about listing the bits of kit you love?
    For me its my Rapha winter collar – truly breathable, warm and not even that expensive (for Rapha) and works great in all temperature ranges from slightly chilly when it doesnt boil you down to brass monkeys.

    My wonderful winter
    My wonderful winter combination that never lets me down is Merino base layer, Gore Phantom jacket, Altura Mistral Tights, Merino socks and as always the trusty Buff. A spare pair of snuggly socks for after the ride always goes down well too.

    It only arrived last Weds and
    It only arrived last Weds and already my Shutt VR winter jersey in flandria red is the go-to item for this winter.

    -6C when I left home yesterday and was perfectly snug with l/s baselayer underneath and gilet on top as a deflector layer.

    A Buff, nuff said by @stofish @fixiegirl @the_mikey @jimmythecuckoo. Have 2 x from Shutt VR and 1 x freebie from C+.

    Mudguards, don’t care what anybody else says about how they look.

    £3 pair of Thinsulate gloves from my local hardware store

    Another one for a Rapha
    Another one for a Rapha softshell.

    Sometimes when I’m ‘home’ I have a momentary regret that I can’t use it in Abu Dhabi, where the most winter kit anyone wears is arm-warmers, gloves and toe-covers and maybe a gilet until you warm up.

    The moment passes fairly quickly…

    I’m back for Christmas. Would love to have some lovely sunny winter days to get out and wear my lovely softshell.
