February 2015 - TC's Best Buys

Craft Mesh Baselayer - for those in between times I've bought this to wear under my road cycling tops mainly just to take the chill off in the intermediate weather when the chances are good that you might be too warm or too cold if you take or don't take a jacket. Really good price. They have with sleeves on sale as well.http://www.wiggle.co.uk/craft-womens-cool-superlight-sleeveless-base-layer/

Winter waterproof socks
I've had my pair for the past probably 4 or 5 years. They keep your feet relatively warm, but the cold does come through sometimes, but at least your feet are dry. These have been little lifesavers over the years to me. These arrived today and delighted that they fit over my problematic calves.

Overshoes
I do have a pair of overshoes... They are NOT warm, but they keep my shoes at least clean. I got so cold on Saturday that I almost wanted to cry so I decided that it would be the very last time that I'll be that cold. Been trying to buy these for ages, but they have been out of stock in my size every time I tried to buy it before.

Pearl Izumi Tights
I love Pearl Izumi tights. Their sizing works for me (the more round figure), their padding is good and they last a long time. I still have my very first pair and I can't get myself to throw it out as it is still comfortable although a bit big. Liezl borrowed one of my old pairs last year when we were in Italy & she wanted to buy it from me... That is how good they are when someone wants to buy a pair from you second hand!

The only thing with these are that it unfortunately depends if your size is available. I was lucky enough to find the sizes that work for me.

Thought I'd share the saving's love!
