If it's really cold, like below ten degrees, i'll have 2 pair of socks on. I also, when in those single digits, have thermal pants under my jeans plus a PJ pants if it's at the lower end, 3 shirts one long sleve and two short on top, then my north face triclimate, and vest on top of that to cover all the pockets and zippers on the triclimate without adding bulk to my arms. Then up top i'll have my thick n thin headliner (see image below), then a paper mask tucked into that to keep from breathing in the super cold air, and finally either my old snowboarding hat with the pom removed, or my super warm mets hat in place of the helmet padding.

It is very thin up top to fit under helmet, and fleece below ot block wind and keep heat in..



Here it is sans mask. If it's daytime i have goggles (better fitting) or my julbo colorado sunglasses (better quality).


The biggest problem with being dressed like this is sweat, so if i feel like i'm warming too much, i'll unzip my vest and jacket to let some air circulation & adjust that at each stop accordingly.
