- Gloves - Bar mitts are a necessity below 20F. I am able to wear light MTB gloves down to 20F with the help of bar mitts and medium gloves get me down to 0F.
- face wear - Balaclava below 20F and just a skullcap from 20-35F
- weatherproof pants / jackets - I just recently got some showers pass transit pants for rain/snow but if that is not in the forecast I just wear some thermal leggings under jeans when temp is below 20F. Otherwise my jeans are heavy enough to keep the cold out
- lightweight winter wear - Also just recently got a Pearl Izumi Escape and it feels like it should be good down to around 25 with a t-shirt and much colder with proper baselayers.
- socks - Now here is why I have struggled in the past. I have usually switched over to waterproof hiking shoes when things get cold but this year I am going to try to stay in my clipless shoes and use overshoes as the temperature drops. For socks, you can't beat some Darn Tough socks
- wild card - When temperature is below 10F I have to wear contacts and ski goggles to save my eyes. This is also because I am usually going into a 20-30mph breeze in the morning.
