full Dainese leathers, put the liner back in the jacket. I just ordered a Fieldsheer one piece suit similar to an Aerostitch, but much cheaper and it comes with an insulated liner that is removeable too. It will be very warm and water-proof as well.

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!!

Since gas prices spiked I decided to ride all year round. Last week I rode to work and it was 23F in the morning. I wear a Joe Rocket Meteor 4.o jacket with liner, and JR Meteor gloves, with cotton liners underneath when it gets that cold. I wear a pair of lined track pants over my dress slacks. I just bought a baklava at Target for $8, that should help alot.

Long Johns
Old Navy Fleece shirt
Thick socks
Teknic Sirocco Textile Pants
Joe Rocket Ballistic Jacket
Ski Doo Balacava
External fleece neck warmer (for super cold days)
Reima snowmobile gloves
The important thing is to block the wind, so wind/water proof jacket is a must, same with the pants!
This is my first year with "real" winter riding gear and I use to do what the Florida boys joked about for Michigan winters!

I just bought the Joe Rocket Ballistic 6.0 jacket, a pair Ballistic 5.0 Pants and Ballistic 5.0 gloves. I went for about a 30 minute ride yesterday when it was about 36-37F and stayed very warm. I had a T-shirt and sweater on under the jacket and jeans on under the pants. If temps were below freezing adding a pair of polypropylene underwear would do the trick. I also bought some light fleece gloves for under the 5.0 gloves since they are really designed for wet riding not could weather riding. Having the option to remove the fleece gloves lets me ride with just the 5.0 gloves when weather is in the 40's.
I must also say that it had been about a month since I have ridden and it was AWESOME to get back out!
Now if we can just get some consistently dry days here in OH I could actually use this gear to ride to work in. When it’s wet out and temps are near freezing the bike says in the garage.

I wear Gerbing heated gear.
I have the socks, pants liner, jacket liner, and gloves. I wear my protective gear over the liners.
Depending on how cold it is, sometimes I get too warm and have to turn them off for a while.
I can't stand riding if my fingers and toes are icicles.

Just Moved to MI from Vegas so I invested in Joe Rocket Jacket, Pants, gloves and a set of Alpine Star Boots. Keeps me warm on those 30 degree days. Not to worry though I am selling the house so I can get away from this stuff called snow. Vegas here I come.
