FXRG Nylon riding pants are waterproof,

Kept me nice and dry,

 

Just a suggestion.....Check out your local ARMY SURPLUS STORE! If they can keep our troops warm, they probably have something for us. I know their polypropylene under garments are great!

I use an old Army Green Field Jacket Liner under the jacket... keeps me toasty.

 

As noted Gerbings makes the HD heated clothing and will cover warranty work when HD's expires. There is one advantage to buying direct from Gerbings. While HD sell the clothing in small, medium, large, ex large, Gerbings sell the clothing by chest size and in the case of jacket liners by a combination of chest size and sleeve length (example - you can get a 39-40 chest size with a 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, or 35-36 sleeve length).

As the heated clothing really needs a snug fit to transfer heat properly buying the proper chest size really becomes an advantage. Additionally, if you're gonna buy the heated jacket liner (which I would recommend over the vest) you get to buy the proper sleeve length also buying from Gerbings.

 

Scoot, thanks for the link.

Now, to be an oddball (size)...

I agree with the mantra of 'keep the cold out'. Less heat loss, less work your body will need to do to keep you comfortable.

 

Thanks for the input and the links. I can see I will be busy searching the internet for a day or two. LOL

WOW! Maybe I'm old school (and cheap), but this is what I do:

Warm weather - Boots, Jeans, T-shirt
Cool weather - Boots, Jeans, Hoodie or leather jacket, light gloves, stocking cap
Cold weather - Boots, Jeans with silk long johns and chaps, silk long john shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, hoodie with leather jacket, gaunlet gloves, balaclava over my head.

My boots are thinsulate and gore-tex, gaunlets are thinsulate. I ride until it is below 32 or there is salt on the road. I ride a RK and have fork deflectors and soft lowers for the cold, also.

 

One tip the lady at the Gerbing store gave me was to buy womens gloves if you have small hands,they fit a guys hand just right without alot of bulk.

 

i just wear a thick jacket with a liner, a hoodie sweatshirt, leathers, and this pullover head thing if its really cold. and wool socks.
