For the past month I've been riding in single digits in the Team Evo tights, LS thermal base layer, LS Training Jersey and Prime Vest.

I have a couple of LS Training Jerseys but I would recommend the current LS Force Pro Winter instead. I also just bought the Apex 2.0 but it seems pretty heavy duty and better for cold temps and I haven't worn yet.

Here's my current set up for the past month (0-12 degrees celcius)

LS Jersey

Sweet! I have the vest already, I purchased the evo bib tight + Force Pro longsleeve. Was thinking about getting a navy bibtight to match the navy longsleeve but I kept the black bibtight. What do you think quality wise about the overshoes? Currently have Spatzwear Roadman 2 which are amazing but pretty warm on the higher single digits. That base layer is something I will also purchase :) Thanks for your advice

I like them but they're not crazy warm. Likely similar to Rapha. They do fine for single digits but I was actually looking at these for super cold days even though they're kinda ugly but probably super warm:

How do you like their Overshoe for winter?

Currently, I'm using the Rapha Pro Team version and the newest one is good...but not quite as warm as I would like.
Thinking about trying the MAAP.

I bought a few Alt_Road gear and like it. The sleeves fit me better than the Pro Team sleeves.

Yeah the roadman 2 are great, some reviews say u can use them to about 10C but that's too warm imo. I used them up to -3C and everything was fine. They are a bit harder to put on since they are quite high but once you got them on. Absolute perfect. My MAAP orders will arrive today, within 24h. Crazy. Curious how I like them :mrgreen:

Those cover higher up. I haven’t found anything that works for me. I have older Specialized winter boots and use winter overshoes on those.

I am thinking to buy MAAP Alt Road vest, is M size MAAP same than RS line of Assos? M in Assos is perfect size for me. Now I saw that Alt Road line could be looser than other MAAP lines. I have 99 ,5 chest
