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

I tend to run pretty hot, so it doesn't take much for me to stay warm so if I'm going to be active outside in the cold weather, whether it's hiking, biking, or the rare occasion I get it into my head that I'm going to try running/jogging, usually I'll throw on some under armor and then something lightweight over top so that I'm not that fat weirdo running around in skintight spandex. It might even just be shorts and a sleeveless shirt over the base layer to hide any obscene or unsightly bulges.

Then usually gloves, a hat, warm socks, and if it's really frigid out, a bandana over my nose and mouth to warm up/humidify the air I'm breathing a bit.

Then I'll bring a jacket with me for when I'm finished or taking a break.
