Altura Nevis Waterproof jacket.
I have got to say its the best fitting cycling jacket I have tried. It does get a bit warm on long climbs when the weather is milder, but its light enough to roll up and stick in your pocket. The best thing is that it does actually keep the rain and mud out.
Made from Altec fabric, windproof and breathable. Airflow underarm and back vents. Internal storm flap with rain gutter dropped tail, Velcro adjustable cuffs and drawcord hem and neck. It also has a nice soft fleece collar to make you all snug.

Jack Wolfskin Headwind Jacket.
Tailored from STORMLOCK TACTEL,the Headwind jacket is a cracking ultra
lightweight insurance policy against the wind chill effect.A super-compact
pack size means the jacket could be stowed in an empty packet of crisps.
I have been modeling the Headwind for a full two months now and the
protection is of a five star quality(minch moor in the driving wind and (rain)
Tight fitting to show off your curves it posseses a snug-fit collar,cuffs
and hem.A microporous Pu coating on the contact side renders it
windproof,water repellent and highly breathable.
The downside if any is that there are no pockets inside or out. Making a
quick grab for that energy bar a thing of the past.

Endura Zyme 3/4 Baggy Shorts.
First of all, the sizing is totally wrong. Definitely go for a size smaller that you would normally wear. The fabric is a cotton look-a-like that's actually tough nylon with a wicking finish. They have an anatomic cycle cut with adjustable leg hems. Being heavy duty, they feel warm, and dry fairly quickly if you get caught in the rain. The waistband is adjustable, with side-tightners and belt loops. Unfortunately, there is no belt included. A tie cord would also be a great improvement. There is no inner lining included although the shorts are compatible with the Endura ‘Clickfast’ liner shorts. There are six pockets, 3 of which are zippered, including one of the two large cargo ones at the front which are handy for change / keys / phone etc. All seams are triple stitched and they have a smooth underside; no snagging or saddle pressure points. With their non-bikey looks, these shorts are perfect for on and off the trails, and the ¾ length should be great for the winter months. Russell C

Helly Hanson HH Warm Freeze 1/2 Zip Turtle.
This is a winter base layer that will keep you dry and cosy. It is a double baselayer - an inner layer (inspired by the fur of the polar bear apparently) made from Helly's LIFA T3 fabric provides insulation and allows for excellent wicking - the outer layer is super fine merino wool for added warmth. It is well designed with long sleeves, turtle neck and low at the rear. Check the fitting guide though, you'll likely need a size bigger than you'd expect! Various colours available.
Excellent product that does exactly what it says it does. Dunks
