full leathers for winter riding...does it work?

[LongRanger_imp]

I wore leathers exclusively (two piece) until about fifteen years ago. I froze at temps below about 45 degrees F, even with heated gear underneath. And always stopping to put on rain gear was a pain.

I still have my leathers (and somehow still fit in them) but I'm a convert to armored Cordura / Gore-Tex. I still get chilled, but I'm less miserable when temps dip into the 30's, plus I no longer have to stop and put on rain gear.
