Rode to work this am as a matter of fact
Rode Saturday & Sunday too, finally got a chance to wring it out now that I did the 1k service, triple digits and hadn't even hit 6th yet, wasn't even breathing that hard

I had a suit made by Refridgawear, Not too bulky, used for ice fishing. Been in wind chills of -60 and never got cold. Worked awesome, then moved to Fla and gave it away! Good Luck

Just suck it up and ride. Week before last bank sign said 28 degrees when I rode by on my way to work (chaps, jacket, gloves, and no face covering).

I'm headed out right now, and it's warmed up to 38 degrees. Fleece long johns, wool socks, high slip on boots, fleece Under Armor Long sleeve top, Long Tee waffle long john mat'l, heated vest, balaclava for head and neck, long sleeve wind proof jacket, leather chaps, leather jacket, full face helmet. And make sure you take that whiz before you get all dressed to ride, cause it's a pain after..... I'm off for one of the last rides of the year. Pretty good though, middle of November and still riding strong in Montana.....

Good way to get frost bite if you go very far in those temps. Put something over your face to block the wind, it makes all the difference in the world. Keep riding safe....

Gerbing's ROCK! Nothing better than riding on a clear blue cold day with a smile on your face. BTW, they have a lifetime guarantee that is bulletproof.

They just moved their operation to Olympia so they are only an hour away from me. Think I might ride up there to take a look at their discount room. I already have a full set heat to toe but I may look at some of their G3 gloves. I have the standard gloves and they are a bit bulky for my liking.

If you ride in the Winter, Gerbing's is a no brainer.
