So I recently got into this community and as Winter is slowly approaching I am looking to buy and keep following items for quite some time:

  • a jacket: should keep me warm enough to around -5°C but as I cycle my commute should keep be too warm on its own, it does rain a lot (snows less often) so that should be kept in mind as well

  • a pair of shoes that fit the same criteria mentioned for the jacket.

Also, my budget for both items is not too high (~100€) per product.

If this does not fit any rules for posting, please tell me so & if this is the wrong Subreddit tell me too :)

    I know I’m late to this but I figured I’d give my experience incase it helps someone else who finds it. I’m a big fan of cycling capes. I’ve got a clever hood and a carradice. They keep the rain off while preventing overheating. I find my legs get wet so I wear rain gaiters or tall rubber boots

    I tend to prefer the carradice due to how stiff and quiet the fabric is.

    Underneath, I wear the same cold weather gear I would wear normally. A warm wool sweater is usually plenty unless it’s really cold in which case I’ll wear an unzipped windbreaker over the seater
