spend the money and get heated gear, thin very comfortable no bundling up at all I wear shirtsleeves the jacket liner and Leather, gloves and the pants liners, can ride in and temperature never uncomfortable or feel like I am over dressed. No over heating or taking off a ton of layers either when you stop for a bit to eat.

I picked up some Patagonia Capilene 2 for backpacking a few years ago and use it as a base layer while riding. They make Capiline 1, 2, and 3 – with 3 being the thickest.

I use the brown ECWS polypropelene thermals, and have for the past 10 years or so. Never get cold in them. In fact, I have to be careful not to get too hot in them.

SILK !!! SILK !!!! SILK !!!!! Buy it at Cabela's, it comes in different weights and will keep you warm and dry. It also won't cook you if you stop and go in somewhere and is so thin you won't notice it at all. For cold riding, below 30F, I wear the light silk pants, shirt and glove liners. Add a long sleeve T-shirt and jeans over that. Next comes a zipped hoodie and chaps along with the leather jacket and gauntlets. As far as my feet, OutLast socks and Gore-Tex boots, headwear depends on weather and varies from a cap to a leather, fur lined bomber. Real cold, I cover the face with a fleece lined leather bandana.

SmartWool base layers. Real thin merino wool. Doesn't itch--very soft, actually.
I use them for alpine skiing, cross country skiing, winter fly fishing, and riding.
The good thing about wool, as opposed to synthetics, is that if you do get wet, they still keep you warm. And your BO washes out of wool (not so much out of synthetics).
