Staying warm in the winter on the cheap. Any tips, ideas? This year I'm gonna try to ride as far into winter as I can without spending a ton of money on gear. IE: No expensive heated jackets, and no $150 gloves.

My current gear...

Leather "Scooter" Jacket
Half Helmet
Sunglasses
Mechanix Gloves
Leather Chaps

Plus hoodies, long sleeves, etc.

These are the things I'm looking at adding.

Neoprene Mask
Wiley Goggles
Glove Liners (I've heard good things about silk glove liners)
Wide Terry Cloth Wristbands (For better jacket seal)''

The only things I don't want to change is my half helmet, and no crazy thick gloves.

Right now mid-40's mainly has my face cold... I ride 45-55mph roads for 25-45 minute rides at a time.

Here is my bike. No windshield.
