One of my best pieces of protective equipment for winter is a mirror. When riding in a tire rut you can't risk turning your head back causing you to veer more than a few inches off your track.

With so much clothing and such slow speeds, why would you need anything? Best protection from injury: lights, reflective vest, goggles, studded tires.
