No snow yet in my area, but I’m still out here commuting in the damp and the dark. It’ll be much prettier once we get some white on the ground.

Studded tyres help a lot.
Either:
I’m going with the second option for now.
Get some thick gloves, hands are the biggest problem for keeping temperature. Chest is lowest priority to heat as it gets warm automatically when riding.
Good lights are essential as the days are shorter, in particular if you’re commuting. I picked up some ridiculously bright ones on AliExpress for cheap, rechargeable by USB-C. Nice!
Overshoes is probably a good choice, as the feet get quite cool and these keep them dry and fairly hot.
I like riding with glasses, and for this season photochromic lenses are good, again for the darkness. I got a pair of these on AliExpress as well.
Do make sure to angle them down so they don’t blind everyone else! These are some really good tips though, thanks
I’ve got them dialed in. Luckily, they don’t even project the light upwards, so it’s quite simple to avoid blinding others.
