I haven't done Winter riding in a couple of seasons, but the MOST IMPORTANT things for cold weather comfort were ankle high neoprene booties (over-boots) + a winter-weight balaclava ... the booties can seem/be expensive (so, shop around!), but they are worth it, IMO.dbackmtg said:I need to buy some cold weather gear, pants, top, hood, shoe covers, gloves etc. I live in central Pa. where the temps will range from 10 to 30 degrees during the winter.

I used wicking long underwear with a generic fleece and maybe a warmup jacket for the top and long johns and sweatpants over that last winter in Chicago and they worked pretty well. I used some old ski gloves and a thin stocking hat too and stayed pretty warm, and wore the same cotton socks I used during the summer in the same shoes. I was just starting to exercise on the bicycle then, and just used what I had around the house - I've got more specialized stuff for warmer weather now that I'll probably ad as layers as the temperature gets colder.
