Ah, true.

After reading till the eyes are blurry on the internet, I will be ordered these today.

Tourmaster Winter Elite

I may try a glove inner liner this year. A lot of people seem to have luck with them, but I hate bulk.....

newenough.com is an excellant place to shop from and I have had superior experience with the Tourmaster products. They peform exactly as one would expect, made by mototrcycle people for those who ride.

Winter is:

Firrst Gear HT Overpants - I do not like the look of the latest version, but damn they perform. Warm and dry

Tourmaster Jacket similiar to the Flex series (again the new stuff doesn't look as good).

Schampa balacava (with long bib) toasty

Fleece lined blue jeans in the 20's and below.

I can usually ride in the 30's and into the 20's comfortably with some clothing layering. It's the gloves that kick my a$$ (long rides get the Walmart hunter chem heater inserts). We will see what these new ones will do.
