Two words, Merino Wool. This stuff is superior to any modern technical fabric. Breathes better, maintains heat better, is more comfortable in a wider temperature range, doesn't hold odor, etc, etc....
Honestly, all last winter I used the UnderArmour type stuff and did ok. But this year I pieced together a few layers of wool and it has been soooooo much better. Even adding heavy merino wool socks have made a big difference. I've yet to experience any day were my feet get cold on a ride this year.
