A lot of people swear by Carhartt insulated overalls.

Cost effective way to go. Also, a good pair of insulated denim pants work well too.

I'm a hotbox so most of the times jean works for me. For the really cold days I have chaps and my wife likes them:-) Wear what works, you can afford, and won't feel bad for spending the money on. If someone thinks chaps look gay then imagine their look when we are passing them:-)

I have these: http://www.stonelakeleatherworks.com/bibs.htm
The quality is excellent. Now granted they are not cheap but I have no complaints.

I bought a Firstgear riding suit from www. motosports.com last winter. It is easy to get in and out of, zippered and velcro wind flaps. Fully waterproofed, reflectorized seams with storm bib under the chest area. $129 list price. All I need now are heated gloves.

+1 on the long johns, jeans and chaps. The azzlss chaps thing has gotten way out there, I wish someone would have told me for the last thirty five years I was dressing gay.
To think I also wasted all those years riding Harleys before Harleys were cool, man I must be really screwing up.
Next thing you know, leather jackets will be out and we'll all have to have textile wear, body armor, whatever ..... What happened to the good old days when you wore what you owned and could afford and no one gave a rat's azz? For you relatively new to the biker world guys, believe it or not, there was a time when you were accepted just because you rode a motorcycle, not because you lived up to some majority's standards ..............

To those that think chaps are gay, please grab my *** next time you see me out in mine....................please
