That said, just an extra layer torso hands and feet, additional to mid-upper 20's wear, is enough for 20°. Plus a balaclava in that range. IME.
Well I also want to continue my January streak, since I hardly commuted at all in January of last year. This year I'm 4 for 4 so far. I've mentioned it before but my problem is being out sub-freezing temperatures for 80+ minutes at a time (15.5 miles) and my toes going numb. I've tried all manner of combinations of materials and setups on my feet but toes still freeze.
