Winter gear

Hi

I currently wear my Weise X Blade jacket with the inner lining in and a Regatta fleece under that. It keeps me warm but I find it a bit 'bulky' with the fleece.

Would something like http://www.spadaclothing.co.uk/productdetail.php?subcat=18&cat=2&product=2474&productname=Chill Factor2 Long Sleeve Shirt Mens do the same job as the fleece?

Also what do you use for keeping feet warm. Is it just thermal/skiing socks?

It should do, I personally still wear my leathers and have a base layer + a windproof layer underneath, but it can still get cold so put on a fleece waistcoat style thing over the top of my leathers when needed.
Yes just thermal socks for keeping feet warm.

I'm still just wearing a t-shirt under my jacket with the lining out. Got vents open too on jacket and helmet

My pants have the lining out still too, although I have my jeans under but that's just a speed thing and also I don't have to carry them then.

I am a northern though...

What gloves do people use in the winter? The warmest pair I have are only good for about 10c and above!

I've just bought some Gerbing hybrid heated gloves which are lovely and toasty but a bit of a hassle for my short commute so I only bother plugging them in if it's really cold. Previously I had Richa Cold Protect gloves which were pretty warm and waterproof but a little too bulky for my tastes.

just Rst Adventure gloves for my 40min commute. Must admit the tips of my fingers get a bit cold. Might just try my mtb bike gloves underneath.

They're defo not waterproof as it says, hands get soaked!

I have some Helly hanson base thermals and a long sleeved cotton tshirt with the thermals in me jacket and I am warm, my hand suffer badly though so got to get some hand guards and heated grips and a new pair of goretex gloves.
