There is a winter cycling subforum here...
https://www.bikeforums.net/winter-cycling/
And you can Google "bikeforums.net winter cycling clothing".

I've been commuting year round for 27 years (down to 7F), and reading bikeforums for over 10 and there are five main tips I learned that changed my winter clothing strategy for the better.

1) don't over dress. Dress for after you've been riding for 10 or 15 minutes. You will start out cold, but Will quickly warm up.

2) every body is different. You must find what works for you.

3) A wicking base layer really work whether it's Wool or synthetic.

4)While you should cover your face and other exposed parts, it doesn't have to be heavy material.

5) Breathable layering FTW!
