Looking for Winter gear (Commute via Bike, Mild Winters) (feddit.de)

So I recently got into this community and as Winter is slowly approaching I am looking to buy and keep following items for quite some time:

  • a jacket: should keep me warm enough to around -5°C but as I cycle my commute should keep be too warm on its own, it does rain a lot (snows less often) so that should be kept in mind as well

  • a pair of shoes that fit the same criteria mentioned for the jacket.

Also, my budget for both items is not too high (~100€) per product.

If this does not fit any rules for posting, please tell me so & if this is the wrong Subreddit tell me too :)

I’ve tried a LOT of different brand winter coats, and my favorite hands down is Fjallraven. I have the Skogsö Padded Jacket, and wear it more than any other. Now you’ll need something warmer for the temps you are talking about, but they have what you need. They also will do repairs if necessary.
