What are your best tips for dressing for the cold and wet?

Good windproof softshell can be worn without other layers. Quite versatile.

Just went out for a little 20 mile ride after work on a Friday. Man it’s got really cold all of a sudden in the UK. Not had my own bike for around 10 weeks. So glad to of got it back but man I’ve missed a beautiful summer.

Always bring a cap regulating the head, especially for those of us that are follicly challenged
/ bald it's really important and also is lighter than most of the items discussed!

A neck warmer doubles as a mask at the cafe.

I was watching this at night and when the clip of Conor taking off his leg warmers came on it lit up the whole room.

The fall season finally arrived in N. California today. I did a big ride and loved the fresh air and scenery, but I forgot a windproof softshell. I really needed it on a 1500-ft descent at the end of the ride. I was cold!

Also, I am thrilled to see Conor and Hank together. They are fun to watch. Next time, Conor, get Hank to visit Ireland.

Thanks for the nostalgia guys. As a Londoner now living in Singapore I’m preparing for my winter rides. The temperature can get as low at 27C!!

The best thing i have ever bought has to be the Castelli ROS jacket, worth every penny, not just for autumn well in to deep winter too very versatile as it has an inner vest liner that you can unzip on warmer days or zip up to give you two layers at the front chest area on colder days, superb bit of kit.

Just completed my 1st 50mile ride and as a proper new cyclist I came straight home and ordered a skull cap & long fingered gloves. I live & learn

[ianstewart]

Perfect timing for this. I always struggle with this time of year. Thanks

[jfgutube]

The guys were wearing gilets but didn’t mention them. I find them very useful in combination with good arm warmers.

1:22 That bit of road on Bannerdown has got to be one of the smoothest around. If only they were all like that.

6:35 A fell runner friend of mine has a saying - "Be bold: start cold"

[Sijray]

Base layers, warmers, and a thin wind vest.

[tammystringer]

The optics of Hank and Connor side by side looks like something out of a children’s fairytale story. Love the chemistry between the two of them.

[tonywatson]

This vid has come at just the right time for me. Had the full gamut of temperature changes today....20 out the door, then 17 mid ride, then back to 20 !. Luckily I was prepared, and my jersey zip saved the day :)

[mattswain]

I can't believe you neglected mentioning the buff! Especially with the whole C word going on around the world at the moment! Buffs are great at this time of year. I do concur on the rest, though. and probably would have mentioned gilets and 3/4 bibs - and that some warmers are fleece lined and others are not. Plus I might have given rough temperature boundaries that clothing is useful for. Just some extras to think about :D

[yavormihaylov]

Connors bike head tube is longer then the top tube of Hanks bike! This guys are hilarious side on side. Nice vid champs!

[scoobydoo]

What I love about GCN are the great tips that will definetly need to follow if you're into bike sports. And on top of that, the unpayable british humour/accent that comes in every video makes you really enjoy it ! Best regards from Switzerland and keep on going 😃
