Iv'e got a set of ski bibs that I put on under my chaps and over my jeans and long johns, long sleeve shirt, and under armor under my FXRG jacket, neoprene face mask, fleece hoodie, half helmet, and a good set of insulated gauntlet style gloves. I havent been cold yet, ridden well into the low 30's. Toes and fingers have been a little cold once in a while, but the fingers are an easy fix, just reach down and warm the gloves up on the back cylinder. I may buy a set of heated socks for really cold days......Side note: The bike runs great on cold days!

I ride until they salt the roads. My commute is an hour and I have riden when it is in the teens. You need to watch for black ice and dress for the occassion.

Spoiled in California. If it gets below 50, which is rare, I'll take the car.
