I never cycle without a pair of mitts on and a gel pair will give you that extra comfort to avoid numbness in your hands. A pair of silk inner gloves are useful too if it gets a bit colder and a full set of cycling gloves for cold and rain. That's your hands sorted! You really do want comfortable hands on tour so go for these!

Keeping your hands dry when cycling is essential. Once they get wet, the continual airflow over your hands will make it very uncomfortable – same with your feet. These gloves have served me well in the wet and cold. Being fully waterproof, they are warm, breathable and have a good grip. Another great feature is that I can still use my iPhone while I'm wearing them, as opposed to removing them each time I need to use it.

In conjunction with your cycling overshoes and cycling shoes, a pair of waterproof socks are a good investment. If your expecting rain then stick them on to ensure your feet don't get wet. Wet feet are not pleasant at all on cycle tour so keep your feet nice and dry with these socks.
