Castelli

Faultless performance and comfort, but long body won't suit everyone – and nor will the price

Warm, breathable and exceptionally cosy – great for most winter days on the bike

Great all-round performer, though its two-pocket setup won't appeal to all

Hardwearing overshoes that do a good job of keeping your feet dry and warm

Outstanding warm-yet-slim gloves that handle rain well – that price though...

Very good overshoes with several high-quality features; they keep water out really well

Fantastic, dexterous cool weather gloves with impressive water resistance

Close fitting fleecy jersey with outstanding breathability – it's expensive but worth it

Superb jacket for most conditions and three full seasons

Exceptionally comfortable and stylish, but limited to dry days, and questions over durability too
