26 degrees when I left the house this morning. 60 mile commute on back roads. New homegrown faring, hippo hands, light gloves, motoline "husky" extreme weather riding suit and baclava did the trick. Never got cold. Toes were starting to get cold but not uncomfortable. Bike was great.

I recently bought the Aerostich Heated Vest for my sub-freezing commutes. WOW! What a difference. : )

Heh...it's not the cold that stops me - it's the snow/slush/and SALT. My God, what would this state do if we ever ran out of salt to encrust the roads in. -=sigh=-

Chainsaw, do you have any other Aerostich gear? I just ordered the Roadcrafter suit and am eager to try it out. I've never used their clothing before and am interested to hear how others like it.

I have the Darian pants, and love them. I've had them for around eight years with very little wear. Never get too cold, easy to take on and off. I'm thinking about getting some of their saddlebags for my CityX
