I am a year round commuter, a little north of Boston. For the top I use: a light-weight wool sweater or two as a base layer, a marmot wind shirt as a mid layer, a Burley Rain-Rider (no longer made) as an outer layer. The Burley has lots of zippers and vents (very long arm pit vents, breast vents, rear vent). Some combination of layering and venting works for me. For the bottom I like Ibex (wool, with a windshield) knee warmers under nylon pants (the kind that look pretty much like "normal" pants). Foregoing clipless pedals and shoes, in favor of regular leather shoes and wool socks, makes winter cycling much more enjoyable. When the temperatures go much below 20 with a brisk wind, my rides are minimal. Although, I did show off by comfortably cycling to last year's Beach Bluff Cycling Club New Year's Eve party, during a very cold and windy blizzard.
