My "go-to" clothing in the Winter - Mix n match variety of wool and man-made layers:
UnderArmour (heavy or thin, short sleeve or long, mock or turtleneck...depending on mercury) Smartwool socks (again, of varying thicknesses) Mountain HardWear Windstopper fleece jacket (WITH pit zips... a must in varying temps) Endura biker jacket (waterproof, breathable, zillions of pockets).... perfect for cold and mucky days Comfy trousers, maybe with lycra tights safely hidden beneath Ecco Country Walker shoes (or Danner insulated work boots for really cold weather) Wool cycling cap (when helmetless) or Mountain HardWear Windstopper fleece hat UnderArmour skull caps (various thicknesses) for under-helmet Gloves... from thin XC ski gloves to huge ski gauntlets Extreme cold/snow... Anything goes... full balaclava, ski goggs, Sorels, insulated ski pants. Hey, ...whatever it takes, just to be out there.
