Good Morning All,
I must say I am a total novice when it comes to keep myself warm when riding in these cold months. As far as I know, layering is the key way to stay warm. This company from Norway -Brynje- came up with this new mesh base layering, that it seems to be the answer to keep the body 4 and 6 times warmer (compared with traditional knits) and at the same time provide great breathability. Very interesting concept!. I was surprised also, watching other videos from this guy, when he claims "Gore Tex" is a type of scam! enjoy!

I have been looking for a Brynje wool shirt in my size for a while. No one has stock*. There are some other similar options in the bicycle world, but not in wool.

Gore-Tex is a better fit for us as motorcycle riders than it is for hikers. Not everything hiker is directly applicable to the MC world.

*at a decent price

I can see that working well for a avid hiker. It may work good for motorcyclist too down to a temperature. I use a tee shirt base layer with a sweat shirt mid layer and a good insulated jacket that cuts wind. If it gets really cold i will use two sweat shirts and the jacket. I do fine except for my fingers. I can say that not letting the moisture from the sweat out is not good. Most of the time i am just riding and I don't sweat. One 5 degree morning going to work a car was broke down in the road and people were just shooting out in the wrong lane passing. I pulled over and told the woman to put the car in neutral and I pushed it out of the road. Only pushed it for 30 or 40 feet. I got one heck of a sweat doing that. I offered her a ride but she politely declined. haha. Any way I took off after she got in touch with her husband and had help on the way. Talk about getting cold after that. 5 degree air on a sweaty body is not good! I also did something similar in Yellowstone one year. It was 28 degrees and I walked up to one of those thermal vents next to the lake shore. It was so warm and felt so good standing there. Of course the moisture got in my gear and then chill set in! Not very smart.

@cyclemike4 - The same thing can happen to riders wearing heated gear. The correct method is to turn the heat up until you're "not cold", Vs turning it up until you're "warm". Turn it up until you're warm and it's common to start sweating a little, which brings on chills, especially if you hit a cooler dip or area, then you crank the heat up more, just aggravating the effect.
