My bike jeans with a thermal layer under is normally enough but for serious cold I have a pair of full rst lined over trousers - oversize do I can get normal trousers underneath

I use cyclists base layers (cost a couple of quid from Aldi) long sleeve and they also have a hood and bit to cover bottom half of face. Been using them for 2 years and ride all year round, never cold.

Over the top are Oxford jeans (can feel the breeze in these) or in the wet Oxford textiles that have removable lining inside and keep me 90% dry.

Spada jacket, traps in sweat in the warm (not good). Even during the snow last year I was still warm.

Gloves is my issue, I do get cold fingertips when it's really cold but my gloves do keep my hands 100% dry in the wet (Dainese).

Heated grips might be the way forward as I ride all year round but can not rate the base layers enough... since I've had those I've not felt the cold
