1 pair Underarmour tights
1 pair corduroy pants
1 underarmour turtleneck
1 wool sweater
1 lightweight waterproof shell jacket
1 fleece earband
1 lightweight knit balaclava thingy
1 pair hardware store woodshop goggles
1 pair heavyweight wool socks
1 pair combat boots
1 pair full finger cycling gloves
1 Chrome "messenger" bag

If it is colder, I can add other layers. I have a couple of fleece pullovers or other sweaters of varying weights. I'm probably going to buy some ski pants I found for cheap at a thrift shop, and I have a pair of Sugoi SubZero tights and a much beefier pair of gloves and a thicker face mask thingy.

I don't have a picture of my gear all laid out, but I do have a ridiculous picture of myself in my light mask, googles, and helmet.


I was running all around the house last Saturday with this gear on, yelling "Yeaaargh!" and frightening the cats and making my husband think I'd lost the better part of my mind.

The glasses behind the goggles are surreal, a nice touch.
