I have 8-10 rides with TOBE bib pants, they are great, light & stay warm/dry. I looked at KLIM bib's first but the fabric on the KLIM's seemed heavier and kind of rough and crunchy, the TOBE are more of a smooth wetsuit feel fabric.

I do Larry usually a thicker fleece or a hoodie but have yet to pull it out. And have ridden locally at -30 tearin through fields

ya i've riddin the -30 to -35 and as long as your moving around, i'm warm enough, but sit still or a wind, froze the knackers. i've since decided to forgo riding at -30.

I just switched to Klim this year, got a jacket, pants, gloves, mid layers, belaclava etc. and absolutely love it. Its a lil stiff to begin with but the fabric breaks in nice and becomes more and more comfy each and every time you wear it. Always wore top of the line snowboard gear for sledding as I do both (snowboard and sled) and it works great for the first season or so but definitely does not stand up to the abuse sledding puts on it. Never tried the motorfist gear but it looks like a quality product, just haven't really liked the look of any of their gear, (ecspecially the boots) so I swayed toward Klim. Both are the frontrunners in sledding gear IMO

Personally, I wear a thin wool shirt underneath my arcteryx jacket. Wool is a magical material. The air pockets created by it keep you warm without having a lot of bulk. On the off chance you do get wet, the wool will keep you warm while wet. It takes a while for the wool to dry but it won't sap the heat out of your body. The jacket overtop is great. It's thin and light. I have a friend working for a clothing store and he was able to get me the jacket for 200 dollars which worked awesome for me. Plus arcteryx has a pretty awesome warranty. I pack a fleece sweater with me in my bag on the really cold days. I find I can regulate my temperature perfectly though just by opening and closing the vents under my arms.
