Winter is coming... What's your favorite cold weather gear? [View all]

Up here in the northeast we've had some nights dip into the 20's and I'm still riding.

Besides getting frozen toes on a 4 1/2 hour ride on Sunday night, I've been pretty comfortable in my gear.

I wear this: Firstgear Thermo One-Piece (I think they are discontinuing it)


With a pair of Powerlet RapidFire Heated Gloves, under a Pair of HD Gauntlets

An Arctiva Baklava under a Full-face helmet.

A Pair of Sturdy Vibram Hiking boots and some thick wool socks... Which I forgot on Sunday, when I got called out to work. Just left a pair of cotton socks on. Big mistake.

I have no fairing or windscreen, so whatever it is outside, I'm getting the brunt of it.
