I have the Valdez jacket and Tog pants. Keeps me warm when riding and I never get wet. If you stand around at lunch for too long, you will get a little cool. I wear them over sweat pants and one of Bigdawg's jerseys.

A great choice! Keep the under garments to polyester or polypropylene only; get rid of the cotton!

The cooler you feel as the temp drops, add another layer. I've found the best place for the layering systems is at Mark's. The Klim layers are great but pricey; I'm thinking you get what you pay for as they doo fit better and look stylish!

It would be nice to see some other colors in the Klim layering systems...just saying

I ride with a New Valdez jacket and last yrs Klimate Bib. Work perfect, I wear a Helley Hansen base layer under both and more mid layers of klim stuff under the coat if cold, been comfortable to -15 so far. With the adrenaline GTX boots and the klimate bibs on my feet were dry even after an accidental slip into a creek 6" deep. If I rode in cold weather more often I would want the arctic GTX Boots. Klim stuff is worth the money and then some.

Well i must say i am very impressed with the gear so far. Dont have proper layering system yet, but i was nice and warm with what i had on, had to take a shirt off...

Also bought the Klimate gloves from KLIM, and must say they do there job, hands stayed warm and dry all day

I have my Togwotee Bib now going on the 7th season. Im going to get a new pair soon. The same thing. Who knows, maybe send mine in for warranty. The only thing that is wrong with them is the internal bottom parts that wrap around your boots is worn out. Otherwise a few small rips and that's it. And I ride alot every year. So I will stick with the same thing.
