Keeping warm on the r3

I rode year round in San Diego. Nice and warm but the mountains do get pretty cold in the winter. Cold enough to snow and ice up. Best I can suggest is wind proof underlayers. Dont worry so much about extra layers. A thin wind proof under will do more for you than a thick non windprooof one. Sure the thick one will warm you up, but once you get to speed, that wind goes right through and chills you. Freezeout makes a cheap windproof linder. They make glove liners, pant liners and balaclavas as well. I also have this thing, not sure what its called but looks like a beanie. Rather than one end open and the other shut like a normal beanie, both ends are open, so I can wear it around my neck.

I wouldnt spend the money now on winter gear, spring and summer are coming up. On the flip side to that, CG and a bunch of retailers may put their winter items on sale.
