I live in the PNW we get more cold rain than snow but last year we got 13degrees and wind. In winter I wear shorts with gore wear leg warmers,shortsleeved jersey longsleeved under amour shirt, gore wear arm warmers ,and a gore wear jacket. Oh yeah smartwool socks booties and those fantastic hand warmer in the toe of my shoes. It sounds like a lot but it seems to work. So far I am glad I invested in gore wear I don't think they make a product I have not liked.
