Yeah- packing a leather jacket probably won't work. Even if you pull the armor out, they're bulky. For 40*, about any glove with a liner would work. Below that is when it gets difficult to keep your digits warm. Ask me how I know... If you don't have grip heaters of some kind, you might look at "Hot Hands" packs.

Not sure which boots to wear yet. I have Sidi Typhoons that are perfect for the cold or wet. JR GPX that are decent riding boots, but not really good for walking, and Sidi Vertigos on the way. Of course I'll pack tennis shoes. Shopping for a digital camera now.
