[cphillipsea1]

Just wondering what sort of winter riding clothes you guys wear and where to find them. reasonable prices, please!

Firstgear Kilimanjaro jacket and overpants. Check BajaRon for prices. Layer as necessary with polypro and wool.

[GA_Spyderman]

Take a look at Leatherup.com They have a good selection and good prices.

Gerbings heated jacket liner. If you come to Las Vegas when the temperature is 100 you can save 25% on Gerbings.

I have Head snowmobile gloves that I buy at Costco for $20 and they are super warm and waterproof.

FYI on the Head Snowmobile Gloves. I do not have a Costco close to me...Ebay has same for same $20...no ship no tax...
I ryde a lot in cold (28' lots of times). My fav is layered and the BajaRon one piece Firstgear. Seldom wear my electric, plenty warm with layers.

[Deer Slayer]

You can not go wrong with any brand jacket liner. Nothing like ryding in your lectric blanket!

[Bob Denman]

Contact BajaRon, and get yourself some FirstGear apparel...

[Jimboregon]

I buy all my gear, winter and summer, from Cycle Gear. They're nationwide. I always buy in-store to get the size right.

I use a heated vest and gloves from EXO2 The Heat inside.
This vest doesn't use heating wires. This vest uses a conductive membrane that heats and regulates the set temperature. With a flannel lined pair of over pants I good to ride.
So far the coldest I've ridden is 22 degrees F.
When the salt hits the road I'm done riding until the spring rains clear the salt off the roads.

If you don't want to go with heated gear, give Freeze Out gear at cycle gear a try. It is the best stuff i have ever tried. No heated gear needed now. The interior fabric traps in your body heat and the exterior fabric keeps the wind out.

i have had heated clothes, heated seats, heated grips, you name it, and i think i tried it. but i found the best for me is, a old army jacket, flannel shirt, leather and lined gloves, a neck scarf, skiers long john bottoms, and a pair of denim jeans. oh yea, i use the heated grips also

[ARtraveler]

The go to stuff for most seems to be Firstgear. It has inner liners as well as vents for the other side of the spectrum. Baja Ron can help you out.

I have been collecting riding gear for over twenty years. End result, I have two six foot racks of assorted stuff. Leather, textile, winter and summer gear.

None of this stuff is cheap--but once you make an investment, you are going to tire of it before it wears out. I still use my Hein Geirke Leather jacket purchased new in 1984 or so. It is starting to get broke in nicely.

[Bob Denman]

If all of this crap fails: start shopping where the snowmobilers do! THEY know how to dress for cold weather!

[Empty Pockets]

Have a Firstgear one piece suit that I got from Baja Ron about a year ago. Kept me comfortable on a 6+ hour Drive in temperatures ranging from low 20s to upper 30s

[BajaRon]

There are a number of cold weather riding options out there and Firstgear is certainly a very good one. I can usually beat any price by quite a bit on Firstgear products.

Heated gear can be a bit confusing. I can help you sort things out.

Whether you buy from me or somewhere else. I'm happy to help if I can.

Here is the Firstgear web site where you can look into what they have to offer. Of course your price will be less than the listed retail pricing.

Have a happy and WARM Winter!

I was introduced to Freeze Out by fellow Spyderlover and it is my base layer for cold weather ryding. Great stuff and reasonable priced...

I live in flannel-lined jeans 5 months of the year, but for riding my ATV or Spyder, fleece-lined denim jeans do it for me, as long as both fleece and denim are heavy weight and not the cheaper versions. On top, I start with 2-3 layers of silk turtlenecks from Wintersilks, each of which are very thin and bulkless, then add a heavy sweatshirt, then top it off with what I find to be the best parka on the planet (before they ruined it by trying to make it stylish) which is Lands End's original insulated Squall. Heated socks, if necessary, inside insulated boots, insulated gloves along with my heated grips (could not live without those!), and Windbloc fleece ear pops inside a good quality trapper's hat, and if there's still enough daylight left after donning all of that, I'm good to go.

What do you wear for snowmobiling?
You DO ride; don't you?

I haven't ridden sleds since I left upstate NY many years ago. A typical winter in southeast MI doesn't have enough snow to warrant having one, so I ride the quad, which handles relatively shallow snow quite well.

[JimVonBaden]

Go right to heated gear. First gear is good. Layering is good, but bulky and slows down your reaction and makes you feel like the Michelin Man. I use a T-shirt with a heated jacket and a rainproof riding jacket. Couple that with heated gloves and heated grips (most heated gloves are not heated in the palms) and you are pretty good. If you are more cold blooded, heated pants are good. I just need long johns under my jeans and riding pants. From 10° to 110° I am good.

Murphy, my house needs one more pair of winter riding gloves. I could not find the Head snow gloves on the Costco site, but did find this on EBay. I prefer to get things that others have used.

Are these the ones you (and Ann) have used. If not could you provide a link?

Whereabouts in Upstate New York?
We have a camp in Onchiota; much further upstate, and you're in Southern Canada!
There's nothing like a minus thirty-five degree morning; to make the sleds not want to even turn over!

...or even the owners!

I found these on eBay for twice as much and they also shipped from China. These are currently 50% off for 3 more days.

they have good stuff and great prices.
The top of the line as far as I am concerned is First Gear brand that is what I use coats, jackets over pants and gloves.
Simply the best.

The gorgeous Finger Lakes area, among others. It used to be a uniquely beautiful state, but I must say, sadly, looking at it now via Google Earth, I'm no longer pining to go back as the entire area from Rochester to Canandaigua and beyond is now one giant subdivision. All the wonderful little towns along the northern corridor of the lakes have been absorbed and obscured by The Ameba. OTOH, New York has one enormous advantage now which is its fabulous, hard-won victory on banning fracking. Michigan is prime fracking territory and being prepped for large scale drilling, including near us, so our future here is in peril.
