During the summer, most of my cycling clothing is real cycling clothing ... padded shorts, jerseys, cycling gloves, etc. But during the winter, the situation changes and many of my cycling clothes do not come from a bicycle shop, instead they come from other sources such as department stores, thrift shops, etc.

So ... if you use non-cycling attire in the winter, tell us what you use and where you got it.


Here's mine (from the perspective of someone who will ride at any temp, even -40C/F):

-- Ski gloves and mini-gloves purchased very inexpensively from local department stores
-- Headbands, balaclavas, neck gaiters, etc. also purchased very inexpensively from local department stores
-- Socks (all my socks, actually, even the ones I wear in the summer, but especially my winter wool ones) purchased from either Walmart or Superstore
-- Top layers on both upper and lower portions of my body (i.e. sweat pants and sweat shirts) purchased from Walmart or thrift shops
-- Wind/Splash pants purchased from Walmart or thrift shops
-- Polypro base layers purchased from Sierra Trading Post
-- Sorel winter boots for the particularly cold days purchased from a shoe place I worked for a few weeks



How about you?
