Sugoi Clothing
I am really interested in buying Firewall 220 Zip and Firewall 220 Pant for winter rides while the prices have not gone up.
The thing is we got high humidity here where i live and winters can be really harsh. No big winds but cold just "gets" you. What temperature can that clothing withstand (celsium)?

I do Sugoi clothing at the local bike shop, as long as you do proper layering, firewall will do -10 celsius.

I've got Firewall GT tights which I've used running and skiing down to -30 celsius. Below -15 I throw on some wool tights (HH Lifa Warm) underneath. Much below -20, I'll throw some snow pants over top. This is assuming I'm doing steady exercise producing a fair amount of body heat.
The GT is like the 220 but with more breathable panels in the back.
I don't mind cold thighs/legs, but windchill in the nether regions I'm not so keen on, so double layering down there with some thermal underwear/tights or something with extra wind protection does well, especially if you'll be facing any serious amount of wind.
