That suit from Cabella's looks pretty good. Might have to get me one of those...

I use Carhart Bibs and a Carhart jacket all winter. They're much warmer than leather. I use the Black ones so they don't look out of place. (IMO)

I've worked in my black ones down to -30 degrees and stayed warm. For you southern guys that is a minus sign.
minus what? What are you subtracting from 30?

The Carharts are the best, been using them for years to work and ride in, wind proof also. Can be a little bulky too. There may be something better but I've haven't used it, sure would like to know about it.

This is what I use, being a small guy I do not need bulky to hinder my abilities to ride. Lable says rated at 10 degrees f

I used carhartt in -40* in New York working on an oil barge on Staten Island. That is some of the toughest and warmest winter gear i have ever used. I am going to get the artic coveralls soon. I think you will find that they will work great and the price is right.

If you areinterested in keeping warm and dry try
www.klimusa.com
Iuse their bibs for smowmobiling when it is as cold as -27 F. they are windproof, waterproof and very warm depending on which ones you buy. I use the Togwotee bibs as they have knee pads and I crash alot, their pants and bibs are quite flexible, zip up the sides and have an inner cuff that is designed to keep snow out when you step off the sled, this also keeps the wind out.
Wore them when I took my bike to the dealer a few weeks ago, it was 25 deg. F, was on the freeway at 70 mph, the only thing that got cold were my feet, next time I'll wear warmer boots.
