I live in Edmonton Alberta. I've left the city at 3:00 and driven to the interior of BC. The lowest temperature can be under 40 and raise to 90 after crossing the Rockies. The trick is to have lots of luggage space and changes of outerwear. Start with a Latitude with Norwegian wool underneath and eventually switch to tee shirt and mesh. One trick I've learned is to carry a water bottle so I can soak my tee shirt occasionally. It's the next best thing to air conditioning.
65-75 is cool? That’s cute. I consider 60-75 prime riding temperature, anything over 75 is hot, 50-60 is cool, 35-50 is chilly, under 35 is cold. Windchill is not really an issue because there is no exposed skin. Of course, I live in Vermont, so my standards are a little different from most. I will also say that a sheepskin B-3 bomber jacket is better cold weather gear than any motorcycle jacket on the market. Why let cold weather spoil your riding? As long as the roads are dry, go for it. Riding through a snowy landscape on clean dry roads is an awesome feeling.
The cold (near freezing air temp and highway speed riding) weather gear that I've found that works for me is as follows. Dainese Tempest 3 jacket and pants, good waterproofing and removable thermal liners, Dainese Nexus 2 WP boots, Rev'it Summit 4 H2O gloves, paired with the Axial Block balaclava, and a set of Columbia Omni-Heat base layer shirt and pants. Couple all this with the heated grips on my bike and I was riding home from work late at night at around freezing temperatures with no restriction to mobility or discomfort due to the cold.
I took a layered approach last winter and will do so again because it worked out pretty well for me. For the jacket, both of my jackers flow a lot of air, so the first concern is breaking the wind, then holding the heat. In practice, it happens the other way around. As temps drop I add warming layers first, otherwise I cook inside gear. At some point the temps get too low and I have to put the windbreaker on underneath the jacket. This looks like a thin fleece base layer, fleece type midlayer, windbreaking layer, then the jacket. The windbreaking layer is sometimes just a light wind-breaker, like the Klim Resilience, or a Carhartt jacket. Once it's cold enough that these don't work, I take off the wind-breaking layer and put on my rain gear. Good gloves, handguards, and heated grips. Full-leather boots. Thermal underwear and wind-breaking pants under my Marrakesh pants.
My pick is the BMG Discovery Jacket. It's the same jacket that cameraman Claudio Von Planta wore during Long Way Round. It's good in to lower 40's without the liner.
By far the warmest jacket I’ve ever owned. I just wish they’d offer more colors and maybe add in an extra vent or two. Absolutely great winter coat especially for the money.
Thanks for the note. Our goal is to be as inclusive as possible with the gear we highlight. Jen left the company earlier this year but we've been working with other women riders like Lee in our Philadelphia showroom to highlight women's gear. We most recently launched a series of sizing guides for jeans where she highlighted a variety of women riders with varying body types to help women riders find the right fit and size as well as the right pair of jeans for their intended use.
@@RevZilla oh, that's good to know. I guess you tube didn't push that video to me... patriarchy 😂. Thank you for the response and I appreciate you working on the inclusivity
I got a brain buster for ya. I commute in the short time possible Montana. Sometimes it’s 32 on top the pass I ride to get to work. Later in the day it could be 92. Any suggestions other than layers? Any unicorn jacket?
Unfortunately not really. Your best bet would be the layered jacket option so you can remove liners when the temperature is appropriate. Keep in mind too, at 32 degrees at moving speeds, the temp will feel well below freezing and (depending on your cold-temp tolerance) might be where you need a heated liner to jump into the chat.
Sedici Avventura is what I use year round. Vents all the way open with liners removed and I’ll ride up to 100 (it is hot but not unbearable for me), I’ve been down to 15 so far with base layers beneath my work clothes and both liners in. I am blessed with the ability to get some dedicated hot gear for next year but if I wasn’t able to, I’d continue running thus set. After 20k+ miles the black is getting sun bleached but functions just as well as day 1.
If your Teen is the same size as your average or small adult, see video above. If they are smaller than that, you might want to go the custom-gear route as most brands don't offer cold-options for Youth since its so uncommon.
@@RevZilla I think they were talking about temps in the teens.... All of the jackets in the final category are for sub-50/55 degrees. You will just need to layer up appropriately based on how cold you're intending to go, but the jackets themselves are the cold weather pick.
Laughs in Alaskan, I rode my naked bike to work this morning with my normal jacket and riding pants that I wear during summer, and it pretty warm at 40 degrees and rain.
Many of jackets and adding layers will work in colder temperatures. What I have found (I don't ride typically in temps below freezing mostly because of potential icing not the temps itself). What I have found that works best is not a big ADV or touring jacket (I have an Andes jacket) but a Knox armored shirt and then either Knox's layering system or you could go with a ski jacket. In the same vein I have tried many different kinds of riding pants, layers, etc. The only thing that has worked and is cheaper is to use your normal riding jeans/pants and get a good pair of snow pants (I use some from Columbia). This will vary depending on your bike. Naked bike and highways speeds the above applies. Touring bike with big windscreen, fairing, etc you can get away with less insulation same applies if city riding. I am actually hot once I get near work because the temp has increased and speeds have decreased. Couple other notes, get a good baclava and a helmet that is one size larger than normal. Alpinestars gel winter gloves are really good (other's too) and just add handguards and heated grips. Between heated grips and handguards I'd go with handguards. Ride those bikes fellas, i don't store any of my bikes for winter but there are stints of 1-3 weeks they can't be ridden. If I had a Can Am I'd probably ride all winter except for snow.
I'm looking for something to extend the NY riding season a little bit longer. I have a pair of inversion gloves that really keep the wind out. I just ordered an insulated pair. Now I'm looking for a jacket too. I'm currently looking at the Yosemite and the Optima. The Yosemite looks great, but I like the shorter version of the Optima. I stop my riding season around 50 degrees. I hate a bunch of gimmick options and complicated layers; I just want a good jacket to protect me from the wind and cold. I would consider a matching pair of pants to go with it. I'm open to any suggestions.
I have the Sedici Avventura set, with both liners in (and base layers beneath my work clothes) I’ve seen 15 degrees Fahrenheit without issue. 20k+ trouble free miles so far on the set. The black color is getting sun faded but it functions just as well as the day I got it.
Where I live is 10 to 20 degrees what would be a good option i need to buy one ASAP but I don't want to waste the money and doesn't work now in Christmas even more lower temperatures am getting so am just looking for the best option if u or anyone could recommend me one
I'm sorry, but if I need to add insulation or heated layers, the jacket isn't a winter jacket. I ride all winter long, into sub-zero(celcius) so snow and ice, with only a t-shirt, undershirt(tanktop) and jogging pants, using only the insulation the jacket comes with. It's a Dane Ribe Gore-tex Pro jacket i bought for €600 on sale with a Halvarssons pants. I wear them up to +20 celcius and everything below that, without any issues. If I spend 800 bucks on a jacket and need to get additional gear for temps above freezing, that's just rubbish. Also, 50 Fahrenheit(+10 Celsius) is not "cold". That's "should I wear shorts or trousers?" weather.
Thats not even cold. Not even close. But best thing to get for the cold chilly days is a one piece thermal pajama type thing to wear as a base layer. That is all. (-12 celcius is my cold riding record)
The only problem I have found with any of the Euro jackets are usually sized for skinny Europeans, lol... a 5x in Euro is like 2xl in US....... and the arms are often tight .
Yeah I want to like Revit but I ended up giving my leather jacket to my son to wear while riding. It fits elsewhere but the arms are SO tight. And that's after one swap. I thought maybe it would break in more but it's crazy how tight the arms are and I'm not ripped or anything. I tend to stick to Taichi at this point.
Wind chill while riding quickly lowers the sensation of temperature. 55°F at 35 mph feels a lot closer to 40°. Temperatures as warm as 65°F can still lead to hypothermia without proper clothing and duration of exposure.
I use the same Rocky riding jacket from 35° to 108°. It has lots of air vents that can be adjusted and a removable inner liner. When it is hot out, unzip the inner thermal liner and open the vents. When cold, put the liner back in, close the vents. If really cold, below 40°, I add a light jacket underneath it. It works great for all temps.
@@RevZilla Dunno. So I asked my neighbor here in the central EU who was born in the UK, if he understands measuring stuff with body parts. He gave me a very straight answer that he only ever understood the metric system

A heated liner.
Customer service tip. Don't diss "European math" you're just alienating people. I'm in Canada and might purchase
So get a jacket with armor and layer up, got it!!!

Breathable and truly waterproof doesn't even exists. Best riding gear is regular clothing with helly hansen rain gear for when it rains
Got recommendations for 20° F 😅 I'd ride in the winter more if i could cut the freezing Temps better
Leather is great for keeping wind and rain out. It breathes. It's durable. It's biodegradable and sustainable. Why are we paying for gortex?
because they have a good marketing team that has convinced people they are great...not me but others
50 F = 10 C ; 60 F =15,5 C ; 70 F = 21 C
So... What do you guys suggest when it's in the 20's but the sun has melted the skim layer of ice? Yay WI.
Nice stuff, prices made me cry.

@@landonfolken03 Exactly.....
55 degrees is cold weather? Seriously? Revzilla is located in Philadelphia. Calling 55 degrees cold weather riding is a joke.
Yeah. That equals 13 degrees celsius. I ride in 2 degrees celsius (35,6 in Fahrenheit) and thats cold. I don't ride below zero temperatures.
Wind chill while riding quickly lowers the sensation of temperature. 55°F at 35 mph feels a lot closer to 40°. Temperatures as warm as 65°F can still lead to hypothermia without proper clothing and duration of exposure.
