I live in canada and get around on a bike all year long, here's the state of my winter wardrobe after some years dialing it in:

  • One simple, single-layer jacket.
  • One cotton hoodie.
  • One packable down jacket that I keep in my bag in case I get stuck in the cold for whatever reason, but in three or so years I've only used it when I was sitting for hours in the cold, never when I was actually moving/riding/working outside.
  • One fleece jacket.
  • One impermeable but uninsulated jacket that's big enough to fit over everything else. Don't really need this one in winter because it's too cold for rain.

I don't actually own a dedicated "winter coat", I just layer the above according to conditions, along with a scarf, wool hat and either mittens or thinner gloves.

Can't advise fr non-stick pans, never seen that stuff last and when it starts to get sticky that pretty much means you've eaten through the ptfe coating. How refractory is she to giving cast iron another chance? I frequently make pancakes on mine without even oiling it.
