Commuting to Work and Clothing Options

Echoing the responses above - same kit there and back with hanging in a locker at work during the day to air it out. Investing in a cold weather kit was costly, but now might be a good time to do it if you’re in a part of the world where the cold weather gear is going out of season. I’ve found I only really need the special cold weather clothes (heavier jacket, heavy balaclava, fleece-lined tights) when it’s below zero. Otherwise, I layer depending on the temperature - if it’s not below zero in the morning, I’ll wear my regular kit with arm and leg or knee warmers, shoe covers, a light jacket, a hat or light balaclava, and mittens. Then shed layers as necessary. Having different pieces that I can mix and match in different temperatures is also cheaper than larger specialized pieces, like full coats or long pants.
