This.

I wear Lee Parks gloves down to 55, below that I've never found anything better than the Fox Creek gloves, partially because you can still have decent feel, can still work the bike. That's down to 33degreesF / rain, below that I hide out

Big believer in heated vests, good temp range from 55 down to 33 without bulking up. Put em on right over a thin baselayer, all you need is a thin overlayer, even a jersey shirt is enough most of the time. After that, most helpful thing is wind protection, motorcycle jackets are drafty. I got a goretex windblocker jacket that was awesome but will admit walmart often stocks shelled fleece jackets that work about as well. So from outside to in -- synthetic baselayer, heated vest, long sleeve t shirt, windbreaker, smurf-blue aerostich suit. Top of the world, ma!

I have pretty bony hands and the Harley brand leather gauntlet gloves work awesome for me on my Road King with just a windshield and no silly fairing helping.
I know guys in Canada that ride every chance they get unless the snow gets too deep, lol!
