I wear a Duofold base layer. My next layer is fleece pants and jacket. Stay away from your typical fleece from a department store. Go to a ski shop and look for something there. I usually wear normal cargo pants and then some Walls insulated coveralls. I usually stay pretty warm. I wear a fleece hat and neck warmer that I can pull up to my nose. I also have a pair of old ski googles that I use whe its windy. Oh yeah look at my avitar. I bought a pair of mittens for this year that you can pull your fingers out when needed. They seem to be the way to go. I also got a pair of electric socks that do real well in the cold. They don't get real hot but enough to keep your feet from getting cold. As a backup bring some of those hand warmer pouches and throw them in your pant,shirt or jacket pockets. You can't go wrong with all that
