I use basically what you use but wear a base layer all year, short sleeve in the summer and long sleeved merino wool in the winter. Both my winter jerseys and bib tights are roubaix lined I also wear a skull cap
Hi there. The best Winter base layer I've found is the Specialized Merino Long Sleeved Tee, which comes as a crew neck or as a turtle neck, both for £60. Since I have arm length issues (very, very long arms for my size small top half) I prefer to stick with short sleeve jerseys and substitute a long sleeve base layer for a short sleeve one when the temperature dips. I can wear arm warmers over a long sleeve base layer just fine and this suits me better than trying to find a jacket with arms that are long enough (only possible if I get a size too big for me)! The performance of the Specialized LST exceeds that of a pure merino base layer, in my experience, as it keeps it's shape better and moves sweat outward more quickly due to it's inner face of Polypropylene and outer face of merino. The arms aren't fantastically long (adequate) but I wear arm warmers anyway, so it's not a problem. I'm not overly keen on membrane, wind-stopping fabrics, and avoid them as much as possible as I can boil up very easily and I find they just don't let sweat out very well at all. Headwear is another issue, so I won't go into that here except to say that I always wear a hat of some kind, even in summer, as I prefer it to the padding inside a helmet.
Sometimes I mix my winter running clothes with my cycling clothes. Winter running tights have similar insulating properties to cycling tights but lack the padding (if you don't want padding).
At something below 12 C I put thin knitted gloves under short cycling gloves. Probably somewhere below 7C I put thicker knitted gloves. They aren't really wool. It's some.. acrylic probably. Cheap gloves, very good ventilation. It seems like it would be too cold, since wind can blow through, but they actually works very well. Somewhere at 3 C, I use cotton working gloves that have leather palm and finger tips, at top of those usual knitted gloves. Somewhere below -2 C I have really thick 2 layers knitted cloves under working cloves.. I have some a bit more expensive special cycling cloves too. Really thick and windproof, but they had so poor sweat management.. Don't know why. Maybe the weather wasn't cold enough, but they got really wet from sweat reven though from special fabric. And they are also a bit small to me, so finger tips were stinging like hell from cold... Not used them for years. Definitely a universal dubbing, or buff(or what ever it's called) when it's around, or below zero.. actually at below +5C I might already consider it. And not some cheapest. They sell some quite cheap ones too, but those are from very bad polyester that won't stay dry.. gets wet and nasty around neck and face.. Somewhere from 12€ should be good. Also it does not have to be thick. Not at all. Until to -2C cold, just a thin one is enough, for me. If it's colder I might add some more, but.. if it's colder I might consider to stay home. :P As for pants and jacket.. well, from +8 to +16 the temperature alone means nothing. Is it strong wind, is it sunny, does it rain. All that matter. It can be short pants and long sleeve shirt with fleece like inner side(like those arm warmers u showed in video). There can be something undershirt, or summer cycling shirt below that long-sleeve shirt.. Also a thin rain jacket might be in rear pocket as well. If it's below +8C, long storm tights pants and padded shorts underneath. Also from below 8C A soft-shell fleece jacket.. when below 5 probably short sleeve summer shirt below. If it's below -2 C, an additional warm undershirt.. not below cycling shirt. But as middle layer under jacket.. the one with such old-school like ribbed knitting(I think it's called ribbed.. you know such that has rows like.. stretchy.. hems are sometime made with similar knitting pattern).. That keeps warmth well, since more air between layers.. Also a lot of knitting thread so sweat management is still good.... Probably also long underpants between padded shorts and those same storm tights that I used also at 6C warmth. And also there's one more important thing about cold weather cycling. At somewhere below 6C, water goes into 0.5L thermal insulated water bottle, to bottle cage. That I drink first. It won't stay warm even in that bottle over 40 minutes when it's below zero. Then sport drink(that I keep for later) goes into another.. just whatever 0.5L bottle, and that bottle goes inside a sock.. If it's over 3C warm, then the bottle in sock, goes to jacket's rear middle pocket. If it's colder, then it goes to the short sleeve shirt's rear middle pocket, below jacket. The sock is important, because it helps to keep it warm on jacket pocket, and it protects the jacket's fleece surface from the bottle neck or lid edges that may be sharp.. The inner side of jacket isn't so strong/resistant as outside, so the bottle sticking out from shirt pocket can damage it. ^_^
Would be great if you put the name and descriptions of the products, I try to look for merida web site to find the jacket. you could say. Spring set:... Fall set:... Winter set ... or by degress as you mention in your video. thanks for this great video.

not cycling specific but when it's cold under armour cold gear base layers are pretty good

I have that felt bike. Love it. It's a f65x sram rival build with mods .cyclocross

I liked that merida jacket. Below 50 is great price. Wow where do u find stuff like that?
And me, as a poor student, only wearing a Ski Baselayer, Short Jersey, Rain Jacket and Shorts with knee extender for like fall to spring
Nice tips, but what about a face; today in my place was below 0 Celcius degrees and over 20km/h wind was too nasty for me and my face :/
I use a balaclava for such occassions
You can wear buff on your neck - no need to high-neck jacket
which one is the thick jacket in setup 4? is it the one for 55 eur?
where is i can buy?
What about racing in the winter (no snow), between 5C~15C, and raining, what would you wear ?
I have the same PI long finger gloves except mine is in yellow (easy for drivers to see when I use a hand signal), 7:52.
Nice Kits!!!
dla mnie dobra jest jeszcze potówka
You forgot about base layer
Good one. There are a few good base layers out there - I look at 7 of them in my Bad Ass &-Layer Baselayer Breakdown here: @Odog - Pez
Super, będzie po polsku na SzajBajku :) ?
Może się pojawi zobaczymy :)
Tak, będzie pojutrze.
Good video but seems you need a much better MIC setup. Really bad sound.
I didn't use the mic, because of having to move so much and wearing different clothes.
@@cannondany hey, it sounded great, just a little different.
And as a new cyclist, I learned a ton, so thank you!
Danielu mam pytanie dlaczego taki fajny na temat jak się ubierać nie ma po prostu po polsku i po angielsku
Będzie pojutrze...
Womens content 😀👌
Why are you wearing lycra leotards?
:-)
