Have plenty of clothing that should cover most forms of weather but it has taken me near 20 years to aquire it. Todays ride in 20F and I stayed toasty and warm

"But thermal vest- warm long sleeve jersey- Duvet jacket- and a warm top coat. then the knickers- tights- Ski mask and mittens over thermal gloves and I felt fine"

Can still remember a ride in 2001 though where I thought I had the right clothing. OK it rained but I had the goretex on- what I did not have were enough warm clothes under it and the nearest I ever got to Hypothermia on a day with the temps in the high 50's. The gale force winds took all body temp away from me.
