Winter jacket or rain jacket and base layers?
Postby Kwaichang » Mon Apr 08, 2013 11:40 am
Here goes just wondering what thoughts are about getting a quality warm winter cycling jacket or should me money be better spent on a rain jacket and some quality under garments arm warmers etc.
Buying gear today so be sharp with your replies people!

So no different to Geelong then. Last wet ride I did was freezing, coming down sideways. Couldnt feel my toes when I got back. Still didnt wear it and glad I didnt, torso was fine with s/s jersey, arm warmers (which came off halfway through) and a gilet.Kwaichang wrote:Melbourne winter, cold but not freezing can be quite wet here though. Yeah I wore a spray jacket the other day and was soaked afterwards. It wasn't a cycling specific jacket though.

Chose warmth over complete rain proof.
Will see how it goes!
