I ended up riding through a blowing snowstorm in Utah once, that's the worst weather I've ridden in. Add to that having no coolant (water+water wetter required for track events) and you get the added fun of not being able to stop. Rode in the 20s in NJ once, that sucked.

Just rode in to work. It was around 32.

Jeans, shoes, hoodie, jacket, gloves, and lid...

There was no wind coming off the harbour, so it wasn't bad..

How far?

Any hiways?

10 minutes through town.

If I had been doing highway I'd have thrown on my ski pants.

I have a nomex firefighting hood that I put on that makes a huge difference. It stops all wind from going down my jacket or freezing my neck.

I assume UNDER the helmet?

Its currently up to about 34, and its supposed to rain! :lol: I should have a good ride home.

Caster, I don't cover my head with it.

I just use it as an expensive over engineered gator.

It really makes a huge differece. Allows me to drop an entire under layer.

When I usually wear a sweater, I can just throw that on and go.

Gotcha (just gathering info for cold motard days)

Yeah, from my limited experience, rain gear helps as much as actual cold gear. Even cheap rubber pants and a windbreaker from Wal-Mart makes a huge difference.

This is what I use. It's very thick and I put it on before my underlayer to keep it in place. I let the hood flap behind..
