I rode in 30 degree weather last winter with fleece sweat pants over jeans; fleece jacket over my armor and snowmobile gloves. My biggest issue was the tips of my nose and my ears got really, really cold. No frostbite but they were uncomfortable for a couple of hours.
boo, hoo tough guys. Rode in 30 degrees. That's barely freezing. At that temperature, teens around here still wear shorts, t-shirts and flip flops.
And now, anybody actually has an answer?
I pretty sure that I answered you.....
don't do it.....My 13 y.o. son wears shorts at 30 too. Took him for a ride when it was 62 deg F. He wore blue jeans but said he didn't need any liner in his jacket, His comment when we got home, "I think my toes are numb, I can't feel my knee's..... complain... complain.... complain....", you know how 13 YO's are....
30 deg F at 55 mph.... (remember science classes??)..... feels like around -10 degs.... or was it -20 .......
