What did you wear? Castelli Gabba2, Assos thermal knickers, icebreaker 200 base layer (I ditched the arm warmers 10 minutes into my ride), Louis Garneau merino socks and MTB (SPD) shoes
How did it work out? Comfy

Last Tuesday was quite awesome. Went out last week in about 4C, same kit but heavier base layer and I kept the arm warmers on. Loving my Gabba, on the bid for an Alpha ROS (or equivalent Assos).

My Gabba is my go to for anything. Today I did NOT wear it, but did have Sugoi arm warmers, a merino t-shirt under a summer jersey, and was nowhere near as comfy in 45F/7C. Also was struggling to go hard enough to get warm, for some reason.

I have an Alpha ROS too. Had the original Alpha, but the paramedics sliced that off me last November. After 1 interrupted ride.
