I don't ride a bike, but I did spend many years riding

snowmobiles at night in 10 degree below zero weather,

I've also ridden in the rain. A good quality snowmobile

suit wil keep you warm in both cases.

The problem I see for motorcycle riders is really feet and

hands. We wore steel shank rubber boots with half inch thick

felt liners and double socks, and my feet were often cold.

Even up inside the cowling away from the wind. We also fingerless

leather gloves and they were no joy.

In all of the responses I've seen to this posting, no one

has described good boots or gloves. I don't think 15 pound

boots and fingerless gloves give enough control for motorcycles.

What do you wear instead???
