Over on Claire’s Fletcher Five blog, she talks about making sure her hands and face are warm as the weather cools down:

I’m going to need some mittens. Probably several pairs, as I’m prone to losing stuff. And something to keep my nose and cheeks cozy. And legwarmers. The list goes on…

A question for you four-season cyclists: what’s the best piece of winter gear you own?

My best piece of winter gear for when its snowing are my ski goggles. They let me see where I’m going with eyes wide open, no squinting.

But my all-round most important piece of equipment changes as the temperature drops. Being old (70) my hands need to be kept warm in order to stay comfortable, so I have some thick polyester gloves currently, then i put them in thin nylon mitts when it’s closer to freezing, and when its below zero i put those same poly-esters into full blown insulated mitts with big generous cuffs that encase the sleeve of my jacket.
