I've rode a lot of -20 days this year and haven't been cold yet beyond a slight chill once in a while. I think the key is to keep your head, hands and feet warm and to properly ventilate when you get too hot. I wear:
- ninja suit baselayer (best thing ever).. I usually wear the hood up under my helmet if it's a cold day
- Analog Transpose 2 Hoodie
- 686 Smarty Cargo Pant w/insulated pant layer
- Holden Banks Jacket
- Burton AK Oven Mitt (these are the best ever! Fingers are never cold)
- Burton socks
- K2 Thraxis boots - my feet have never been cold in these boots yet
- Airhole masks, various other facemasks, balaclavas
If it's really, really cold like -22 I will throw on another light sweater under my hoodie.
