-Voler winter rated jacket, got it on sale a while back and it is very warm on its own down to 10-15F
-Upper base layer
-Pair of gloves, I found a new favorite pair of fingered gloves that work on their own down to the teens F
-2X pair of therma-fleece bib tights, possibly with a windbreaker pant over them
-Lake MXZ400 winter SPD boots....depending on how low the temps are either basic athletic socks or merino wool socks. These boots are just too warm above freezing.
Two pairs of fleece tights? Seems excessive, but how low is the temp? For me, when the temp is below -10C, I have a pair of fleece lined rights, but I will put a pair of wool leg warmers under it, just above the knees...okay, yeah, pretty much the same strategy.
Two balaclava, though?😀
