Ok,
For those of us that are able to ride during the winter, what does everyone wear. What are the best jacket, gloves, and pants to wear. I'm in Fl so probably the worst weather I may have to ride in will probably be down in the 30's or so.

 

Well i just but my inliner in the joe rocket jacket phoenix jacket. But i live in Phoenix to it mabey get down to 30-40..

I ride all year with the exception of snow -- rode in the sleet last year but that was an accident. Never trust the weatherman. Sleet sux. Anyway, I wear my normal jackt and jeans stuff with a goose down jump suit thing over it. Tourmaster gloves for below 40F and Olympia for above 40F. Boots are Alpine Stars. Balaclava under helmet and fog city shield is a must. I've ridden down to 17F for around 45 minutes (to work or back) without too much discomfort. That cold air is good for 10 hp ha ha ha.

 

Nice. Watch out for that black ice.

I went for a 300 mile ride yesterday and it was windy and cold ( 50 degrees ) and I wear Sidi Vertebra 2 boots, a pari of sweats under my jeans, a long sleeve shirt and a Fieldsheer Cabrio Jacket ( nylon/waterproof/insulated with hard armor) That Jacket is the BEST!!! My friends and I have them and swear by them for keeping us warm. It has been days when we would do 250 mile days or more in 35-40 degree weather and it works AWESOME!! I have some Joe rocket gloves and wear Isotoner (yes womens gloves) as glove liners and those work awesome under my standard road race glove. I read that tip in a Motorcyclist magazine years ago and it works great!
I rode to Dillions Beach ( 70 miles north of S.F.) and down Pacific Coast Hwy

Are you talking about December when it gets down to 78 in Houston ?

 

yeah u down south people suck us up north people have to break out the snow mobiles if we want any kind of RV riding. and by the way they are talking it will be a winter to keep the snowmobile out all the time.

Yeah, when winter comes around, i have to put the liner back in my Alpine Star T-stunt. And, if it's real cold, a long sleeve shirt under my jacket. Gotta love being in FL!!
