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

[misterprofessionality]

the plan, which turned out to work really well, was to simply wear my typical underlayer under the leather suit. it's a kind of light down with a windbreak material on the outside. it's super light (like wearing nothing at all) and when combined with solid leather as an outer layer does a great job of keeping me warm. i was worried about the so-called perforations too, but it seems that the suit is a cheap one, so the perforations function really badly at their job of getting heat out, which works in my favor.
