So, it's time to start looking for winter jerseys for the cold mornings. 0-10 degrees stuff, it's started getting nippy.

What does everybody wear?

Around 0º, I'll wear a jacket (Castelli Mortirolo) with a woollen base layer. Above that, a normal L/S jersey (slightly thicker, brushed/fleecy inner) jersey with a windproof gilet and woollen baselayer. And above that, summer jersey, arm warmers, windproof gilet and woollen baselayer. Think I'll pick up a Castelli Gabba jersey soon to spare the jersey/gilet combo.

So, so easy to overdress in winter. As long as you keep the wind out and stop the sweat building up, you'll keep yourself warm enough.

The Gabba is meant to be an awesome jersey but can't justify £180 at the minute. I've got some long sleeve Castelli stuff, it's just a bit thin to keep cold winds out, looking for something a bit more substantial and waterproof ( ie, not wool/cotton ) if possible.

Just got a polaris venom jersey, not needed to wear it yet, a very reasonable £50.

At the minute arm warmers and a base layer are good when on road, minute I get off road, happy in shirt and shorts still.
