Man you all must be cold natured or sumpin', I wear a leather coat, I will wear leather pants but not overpants. I am sixty years young do not have heated seat, heated gloves nor will I wear a full face helmet to keep the cold off and see no reason for a snow mobile suit to ride in.
Been thru CO in late May, crossed Wolf Creek Pass snow flying, used to ride all year but now a days arthritis flares and sets me back when it gets under 30. Still wear 1/2 helmet, earplugs, I will add a face shield at times, have unlined leather gauntlet gloves, good pair of thinsulate lined workboots, wear wool socks and regular long sleeve shirt with a t-shirt when it gets below 40.
My Normal body temp is 97.6, seems I am part reptile as I just slow some in the cold and still wear heavy clothes summer heat.

I use the first gear thermal 1 piece suit , it is 71/2 years old and the Velcro is is starting come off the legs amd not sealing as well , plus I have gained a few pounds and the suit is a little small now. I have no complaints down into the 20s in the rain with the First gear just looking for something different this time.
Which tour master pants and jacket ?

I love my Carhartt fleece lined jeans. I'm good down to 40 in NJ. Below 40 I put on the long johns. I haven't needed to plug in as of yet. I hold up pretty well.
