[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3048876, member: 15054"] Yes wool socks or electric socks..I have some electric socks they work well..Usually not cold enough here to use them if you have good wool ones and feet stay dry. People say layers..I was challenged one year where I worked (FAA) one guy told me I could not ride my motorcycle all year to work. HA! wanna bet. Yep I drove 25 miles 1 way to work.. You get to test layers and different gloves along with many things. The sleet and ice covered roads made for a long ride but i did it. Now the best gloves were some triple layer gloves that are waterproof. the ones you have the mitten gloves work well. The 2nd best were good fluffy lined welding gloves. The cold weather rides I wore my T shirt along with my leather jacket Not a must have but I wore it for protection in a crash. The T shirt covered by a Hoodie then some coveralls Like walls heavy canvas type that stickers/ briars do not tear. Then get this the top layer was a PVC rain suit. I kid you not the rain suit will keep rain out and hold heat in. When i hunt in the sub freezing I have the hoodie and coveralls and rain suit of some kind.. yes some suits are noisy. But if you are sitting it is not an issue. I have tried t shirt, hoodie, jacket and 2 pairs of coveralls and the wind and cold creap right through. Here is the theory i have. You can layer up and the cold will actually freeze the outer layers then you are sitting in an ice box that looks like coveralls. Your body heat can heat just so many layers before the cold wins over. Neck and head heat need to be contained also.. that is an easy part to do. For cold weather riding I built a neck brace like a simpson racing neck brace. I built mine from a sweater sleeve filled it with batting and made it attach with velcro. [/QUOTE]
