Recomendations: Cool weather gear

[sbaker33]

I am looking for apair of pants to wear when riding in the colder weather. I have a new Fieldsheer jacket that does a good job keeping me warm but the cooler air seems to cut right through jeans or dockers.

I am looking for something that I can wear over my dockers to keep me warm on the way in to work. Ideally they would be easy to get in and out of and cause as few wrinkles as possible. In addition to commuting duty I would want something I can wear on weekend (fun) rides as well and since I am not made of money shouldn't be too expensive.

Any recomendations or suggestions?

P.S. The lower part of my face and neck seem to get pretty chilly as well. Any recomendations?

Shannon, I know they're expensive, but I really like the Aerostich stuff. You could get the pants separately. I'm wearing mine 12 months out the year now (well, at least when I'm riding!)...

For neck/face warmth, I'm happy with the Aerostich Shellaclava (item 1050 at their web site (http://www.aerostich.com/riderwearhouse.store):

15 bucks, slightly pricey, but I like it.

HTH...

Before I got my Honda Nylon Pants (toasty) I would just wear nylon warm up pants under my Joe Rocket Phoenix pants (very textile) and stay warm. Go to Academy and get a bellaclava (sp) or full face skiing mask (I use). Don't forget the warm socks. As long as my feet are warm, my legs can get pretty cold.

Shannon,
I've tried Aerostitch and Joe Rocket Ballistic 4.0" Pants. My experience is textile riding gear is sacrificial. The 'stitch' isn't worth the price difference to me. If you go down there both toast.
