heres what i ordered guys most of which came from newenough.com

1. alpinestars ATL jacket black/white- added the upgrades for chest armor and ce back protector

2. icon automag leather over pants- i wear khakis to work so i figured overpants are well overdue as id be half nekkid if i went down these have ce armor in the knees/shin area and i believe padded hip area.

3. held phantom gloves- heard so many good things about held gloves so i figured might as well get the top model, aslo got the silk liners from held for when it gets a little chilly

next on my list is some motorcycle specific boots that i can get away with at the office and electric liner for the alpinestars like a gerbing or similar with electric gloves for the digits

Have you checked out Hein Gericke, expensive but almost as protective as good leathers.
I have a pair of alpinestar all weather boots really good and I can wear them all day, very comfortable

Wow nice gear... im also looking to outfit myself for the winter, but cant seem to find the rite gloves... do you guys think these will keep me warm? They dont really specify temperatures when talking about gloves... thanks for the advice Alpinestars SP-1 Motorcycle Gloves :: New Enough, LTD

There's always 'heated grips' for you guys in the cold places around the world this winter

not likely. i wear silk liners under my phantoms to help with the cold. the liners are $12 from new enough. you could get some gortex gloves or some heated gear if that isnt warm enough.

silk liners work for me till about 30 degrees f

True, I could never get on with liners when I was back in Wales (bloody cold there) found I lost too much 'feel' what with the winter gloves as well (which are bad enough).
