40's is not that bad. But best suggestions in general are layers. Look for thermal bibs without chamois. These allow you to use your regular shorts and if needed even add thermal underwear in between.

Tops. I really like my thermal vest for moderate cold. Full jackets for colder but again, layer. The layers do not have to be cycling specific. Skiing stuff is better. Check out Helly Hansen and Columbia.

Gloves. For really cold days. Lobster claw gloves are excellent. I have a pair of Gore that it has not gotten cold enough for yet. Bar Mitts are another option. But combining them with the Lobster Claws is too warm.

Feet. Get boots. They are so much better than putting booties over cycling shoes. But if you do not want to spend quite that much look at Giordana AV300 booties to go over your shoes.

Layers are a must!
Toe covers are lifesavers, gloves and something to cover your ears.
Lots of brands sell last years gear at a discount or Black Friday is coming. Always good options to do it right and be safe.

Rapha and Castelli if you’re feeling rich!

100% to this and other comments here. I use mainly Rapha - their Core line is good gear that doesn’t break the bank. La Passione is another brand - I haven’t tried, but seems reasonably priced compared to Rapha and others. And yes to Black Friday sales. Best time to get gear. Specialized also sells gear that is decent and not too expensive.

What’s cold ? I don’t cycle under upper 50s.

For me it’s due to how cold my hands and feet get. I’d suggest over shoes.

A wind proof jacket and some kind of thermal under it.

Neck gaiter to pull up above your face if you need it.

I have a bontrager biking jacket that is amazing against the wind.

I got a couple mountain biking style fleece lined pants & jacket from Amazon that have helped.

Works for running too. I used the pant & the bontrager jacket to run a half marathon in around 30 degree weather

Cold as in 40s/50s

Thanks! I’m in Texas so won’t be seeing negatives unless our grid fails

I really like the Leatt 2.0 lite jacket and 100% Brisker gloves

How do you try new bikes? A car you can jump in, move the seat and drive around. A bike needs a fit(something for another post), time and it’s impossible to ride all brands to see what “feels” best. Love my local bike shop, but they only sell Trek and are obviously biased.
