 What's th best cold weather riding gear besides chaps and leather?
Insulated rain gear, camouflage  hunting gear? Ski clothing? What's
reasonably priced? What works the best?

Purpose made motorcycle clothing will offer the best combination of
protection from injury and the elements, plus it will be designed to
work well while riding, which other non-dedicated clothing will not.

Check out the Aerostich Roadcrafter.  I wear one and recommend it.
Also look into the Motoport offerings, and there are lots of others.
You will probably find a bunch of stuff by googling for:

Under 50 degrees you can get the First Gear 'Thermo' Rain/Riding Suit.

I use it and can ride for 1 hour at 17 degrees.

If the temp is at 50 to 60, you could be in your underwear
and sweat a ton in this thing.  I just unzip it a the top
and unstrap the wrists to allow air flow.

Tss! Someone got to buy the loss leader products too, you know,
so that the stich has some semblance of competition someday.


it's obvious you don't live in the south. I want to move into
an A/Ced car once the temps are in the 80s
I dire not to think of a ride in a one piece suit at 70+F
and i cringe when i see a rider wearing one
in a Shrekland summer/later spring.
