What do you bring in your winter pack? I have two winter packs on for if I will be away from pay phones and taxis and another for when I will be close to home and telephones: 

Close to home pack


money for calling a cab
lights in case it gets dark
extra tube and pump (although I am considering removing this)


Far from home pack

Close to home pack plus: 


Pannier to carry extra gear
Extra clothing including:


Extra gloves
Warmer/cooler pair of long underwear
Extra sweater

Thermos full of hot/warm water
Piece of fruit and an energy bar
Tool kit (Although maybe it is too cold to use these outside)


tube and pump
zip ties
chain tool
small vice grips
allen keys



What else do you carry in your winter pack?
Wet gear.  

Granted I'm cycling to work and live in Ireland where we seem to have several rain gods.

It's the top item in my pannier.  Share some of your other items but not quite as organised: maybe I should take note.
