Default Winter riding gear

I usually wear my dickies (like carhart - full suit)
but it really doesnt cut it. I freeze every year.

Looking to buy a columbia winter jacket and I want to get snow pants.
Worried about tearing them when riding through the brush and stuff.

Any ideas on what i should get?

What do you guys wear?

Thanks.

I just wear the same thing I would if I was snowmobiling. A Winter full face helmet is nice and for how cheap and easy they are to install a thumb and hand grip warmers are nice to have to.

What do you mean, "you people"? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I wear a longsleeve shirt and rubber hip waders....but I live in Texas and we dont really have the same winters as the rest of the world I guess.

Have any of you used a heated sheild with your ATV?

Know of any cheap good ones. I have glasses and fogging is an issue.

I currently use a cheap snowmobile helmet with a baclava.

I wear a full Polaris snowmobile suit and a motocross helmet, goggles and a balaclava. I also have heated grips and thumbwamer. I mostly just plow in the winter with the odd trip out to the ice hut. -30C and I stay fairly warm. A windshield would also help
