What is THE WARMEST clothing for EXTREMELY cold and windy weather?

What is THE WARMEST clothing for EXTREMELY


cold and windy weather?





Fur (what sort)? Leather? Synthetics (what sort)?





IMPORTANT:


I ride a motorcycle


even when it's well under 30°C.


At 60 mhp the wind chill can make it as if it were


as low as -10°C with the wind cutting you to the core.


And when your just siting on the bike you don't generate


much body heat (little movement).





I think I may need


mittens (made of ?), boots (made of ?),


underwear/base layer (made of ?), insulating layer/s


(made of ?), and a outer or shell layer/coat (made of ?)


made for a place like ANTARCTICA in bad weather


(-89.4°C/-129°F with hi winds).





I nearly don't care what it looks like.


I just don't want to be cold.

What you need is a heated suit,it plugs in to a cigarette lighter (you may have to have one installed on your bike)





My boss rides his Goldwing and him and his wife have them,he says they are great.They have an adjustable thermostat.


I think he paid like $300 for them but they are worth the money.


Check out some magazines or at the dealer......it might be more cost effective than buying all that other stuff you want.
Reply:It is important to think in terms of layers. The more thin, light layers you can ware the better. These layers trap a very good insulator - air - and slows the loss of your body heat. Top this off with a duck-down insulated, wind-proof jacket.
Reply:Get Ugg boots and they are warm but put like four layers of socks under them lol....


For a coat-get a northface they are warm and then put like a leather jacket on top of it.


I'm sure if you look on google for stuff you will find it
Reply:fur like the eskamoes were!
Reply:Get Goretex clothes insulated with synthentic down, such as Holofil or Quallofil. Those are good even for the Sourth Pole.
Reply:I wear a snowmobile suit, scarf, mittens that go halfway to the elbow (5-finger gloves won't keep your fingers warm) and rubber boots - like totes, over your regular shoes.





Get a fairing also.
Reply:Gortex boots w/ socks that don't sweat. layers, wool, down.


Check the ski shops/ hunting deptartments or on-line ordering.


Cabello's outdoor type places. The hunters layer up and sit out in the wind and cold for hours.
Reply:WOOL, WOOL,WOOL!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Her in the far northern part of Canada we wear of lot of Down filled clothing great for holding the heat in..plus fleece pants
Reply:i have a synthetic jacket that i bought from steve and barry's for $10... that thing gets hot! so i would recomend synthetic insulation (you definatly want a bubble jacket)... for gloves, you want something thats a tough fabric that doesn't let wind pass... i wouldn't recomend leather, it doesn't stay very warm.... there are other fabrics out there (can't think of the name.. it has the same kind of qualities as yard gloves, only with a lot of fur inslulation).... scarves are always good, tie them and wrap them up underneath your jacket... turtlenecks, long johns, and uggs... wearing the long johns under your jeans will keep your legs warm enough.
Reply:Goretex, its fullwwindproof its what we use in the army
Reply:I would say thermal underwear is pretty important as it stops body heat from escaping and covers the whole body. Other than that I'd say that leather is the most practical thing to wear if your riding a motorbike - you need something hugs the body and is easy to move in.
Reply:i would go with cotton, and cotton flannel, except for the outmost layer, which you can get a leather jacket and pants,,,, and layers ,layers layers,,,, go for a turtle neck sweater,,,leather gloves with a cotton lining , stay away from synthetic for the inner layers,,
Reply:Wool, leather, and lots of layers.
Reply:Get a windscreen for the bike. it is much more comfortable than hiding behind the headlamp and gas tank.


I tend not to ride motorcycle cause of the black ice on the roads. You is just an accident looking for a place to happen.
