Not sure how many cyclists are around. Anyways, what functional but weirdo looking gear do you use once it starts getting colder?

I have lots because Colorado falls are roller coasters with temp.

On "warm" 50⁰ days, I'm usually do a base layer of a Nike pro lycra shirt and shorts, then typical jersey and shorts with arm and knee warmers.

On cooler days, same bases, but with a warmer jersey and maybe fleece knickers or tights. The fleece cycling gear is always smaller than the summer gear and stretches less as well, so I find it very uncomfortable. Maybe lycra booties, ear warmer and comfy gloves (love the head gloves from Costco).

If I'm crazy and it's under 20⁰, then a very warm capo jacket over a long sleeve base layer and 2 layers of tights sandwiching my shorts (or a unique pair of pearl izumi wind proof tights), warm pearl gloves, warm hat and neoprene booties. If I'm lucky, I'll last an hour.
