Depends on what type of riding you do; some things may not work well for you look wise. I don't worry about layering when it becomes cold (below 8 degrees celsius) as I use cold weather jacket and pants from Scorpion. They are very warm, keep me dry inside and out, but are not cheap.

I bought the top and bottom from my initial post. I paid full price for them. $10 off certainly helps

It seems pricey for just a bottom.

Thanks for posting this, bought it a couple weeks ago. It's one of the best investments I've made for riding. Extremely comfortable and kept me warm in the recent cold temps we've been having. Now all I need is the DriWear top but they're pretty expensive.

That Wal-Mart stuff works to trap the heat in, then wear more layers on top of that. Multiple thin layers work better than 1 thick layer.
