I invested in quite a bit of gear for the winter riding, so I am somewhat comfortable. Giro snowboard helmet with ear covers, Pearl Izumi head cover, Oakley goggles, Seirus half balaclava, North Face windproof gloves, Seirus glove liners, Novara windproof/waterproof jacket, biking tights, shorts to go over them, a chamois, Smartwool thick wool socks, and Specialized Defroster waterproof/windproof SPD boots. I hate riding in all that gear, but I hate not riding even more. I prefer a t shirt and shorts with sweat dripping off the end of my nose and my back soaked from my bag, but I will have to wait a few more months for that.
