What to were 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.

Take it from an old/cold weather rider, it is NOT worth it. Sooner or later you realize that, what in the WORLD are you freezin your butt off for? Too look cool or stand out. Well yeah you stand out alright, everyone wonder what THIS morons problem is......


BUT, hey, been there done that, so here it goes: Underwear, normal plus silk long johns. Lots of guys swear by pantyhose, but I would get frostbite before that happens, so one year my ma bought me silk longjohns made by "Wintersilks", I think they're out of business now, but you can find similar. There is higher tech stuff now for winter runners and bicyclists, but something that fits rather snug and is thin. I usually just went for jeans over that, if you are especially cold-blooded you can get normal cotton long johns over the thin layer, then jeans. I used normal high top work boots. If you're really into it you can get insulated boots, just normal lace up boots. I like a pair of these really thick cotton socks, I can't stand wool, but some say wool is warmer and I'd agree as long as you don't stay inside too long before you ride, more on that in a bit. You can wear 2 layers on the feet, "normal" socks then a thicker pair of cotton socks. Upper layers, same thing, silk top for your closest layer, then tee shirt, then layer on what you want too, I didn't get too carried away, because: TA DA! The outer most layer I used a snowmobile suit. Well, it actually is from BMW and made for cycle riding, but essentially it's a 1 piece cold weather riding suit. This is the outemost layer. Has leather in all the places you're most likely to get scuffed up if you go down. Gloves: anything with a nice long gauntlet, Goretex lining. Scarf. I didn't have a helmet liner and did OK without it, but there are different liners and so forth you can find to keep your face warmer, like this:http://sepharus-store.stores.yahoo.net/m... Dual layer visor to keep it from fogging, I never had this but understand that it's da "chit". It's about all I can think of. If you have the elecrical system for it, you can also find heated apparel, this you would put on over your tee shirt, fairly close to the skin, but not ON it. I have a heated vest I used to wear, nice. Beemer has heated grips too, look into those. You can also get these dirt-bike style "brush guards", they work nice for keeping the balmy breezes off your hands, like these sorta:http://www.motorhelmets.com/htm1/bodypar...
Reply:Thermal underwear,see the skiing dept. ,Thermal socks, very important because even if you are all bundled up ,cold feet will bring your temp down.Insulated gloves. There are head and face covers similar to ski masks ,but they are sheer and can be worn under a helmet.And layers tend to work well as the more dead air space you have(between layers) the more body heat is trapped.Black leather on the outer layer will capture any heat the sun may give off and be sure zippers are covered by a flap as exposed zippers cause a draft.One last trick check out hunting suppliers or catalogs, they have pocket warming devices that when strategically placed can really be helpful.
Reply:Look at snowboarding/skiing gear for warmth (especially ski masks -- they work wonders!). Always wear your leathers. A few years back a GSXR 750 was my only mode of transportation so I know what you're going through. I was on that bike with below freezing temps, rain, everything... Ride safe!
Reply:Electric clothing is the hot setup. :-)





I have a Gerbing jacket liner. The biggest problem with buying it was kicking myself for not having done it sooner.Makes riding in 5C weather a pleasure, in -20C tolerable. There are other vendors, of course. I don't like heated vests, keeping your arms/neck warm is very important.

Reply:I use synthetic layering such as polypropylene found in UnderArmour Cold Gear. Get the layering from a ski shop or outdoor outfitter. Its thin and layers well under your leathers. The other option is the install electric clothing. It plugs into your bike and has thin wire elements in a vest, pants, gloves and the material produces heat.
