Default Snow=Cold

Actually, it's the strong winds that are causing the chill factor. I just came back inside after riding the V Force down my friends long black-top driveway. It had a thin layer of ice, but strong enough to withstand the weight of a dual 3500 disiel Dodge Ram. I was sliding and drifting around like crazy. I was having fun just messing around on ice. I like it how it drifts so easily (I did like a jagillion donuts). Riding in snow is great, but the only complaint I got was the cold winds. How do snowmobile drivers stand the cold. I had a beeter on, followed by a T-shirt, hooded-sweatshirt, a thick coat, furry thin glove that could keep my hands warm (but not when driving with the wind pounding on your hands), so I had another thick glove from Target over it, long socks, normal snow boots, underwear, Grinch boxers, jeans, and a helmet on. With all that, my legs, face, and hands were still cold. What kind of pants could I get? Gloves, and does goggles work to keep your face warm, or should I just go for a full motorcycle type helmet? Thanks!

How about those $60 + MX pants. Why are they so expensive? Are they thick?

Usually MX clothing is made breatheable, to keep you cool. Snowmobiling gear is made to keep you warm.

You could always get a Carhart jumpsuit to keep you warm, like I got.
