12 rain days a month finds every seam. A real shell, not a windbreaker.

Insulated puffy (down or synthetic)

Merino base layer top
Wear one, dry one. Cotton stays wet all week here.
Fleece or midlayer
The layer you'll wear more than any other.
Warm hat (beanie)
Wind hits 25 km/h and lows drop to 37°F, so exposed ears go numb fast.
Gloves
Three-degree lows and constant wind chill mean bare hands lose feeling within minutes.
Polarized sunglasses
Water reflects light off wet pavement and canal surfaces even at low UV index.
Tick remover
Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.
