    For feet, you might try a very thin silk sock, then a thinnish wool sock, then, on the outside, neoprene shoe covers that go up your ankle, with a wind & waterproof thin shoe cover over that. I find that works pretty well. I also try to remember to actively wiggle my toes and lighten up on the balls of my feet regularly, from the start, to keep circulation going.

    For hands, I'll wear silk glove liners, neoprene gloves, and wind/water proof outter glove covers.

    The glove covers I found were PI. Naturally, they don't make a women's version , but the men's small size was still huge enough to cover the big neoprene gloves.

    I wear windproof/waterproof booties over my shoes along with thicker socks and it seems to work.

    Both Sidi and Specialized make a winter shoe.

    My feet are the only things that I can't ever get warm. I took my clipless pedals off for riding in the snow and am wearing a pair of insulated/waterproof snow boots. I bought a size larger so I'd have room for extra socks. Last Saturday morning I rode my 13 miles in 5 degree weather with 4 inches of snow. My feet were cold when I got to work but at least they have some feeling. Riding without my clips however, is driving me nuts! I switched back to my clips these last few days of slightly warmer weather but had totally numb feet this morning when I got to work so I guess it's back to the snow boots. I have a feeling my pedal wrench is going to see alot of action this winter. bikerHen
