I reckon those ski pants in Charlie's picture need a couple of eyelets about midway on the braces.

If I put the liner in my Olympia Phantom 1 piece suit, I'll be comfortable to well below freezing. And I do have heated grips on the R65 now.

They come in and sit by my fire.
And drink whiskey with me.
Usually ends up in a boxing match tho.

Good idea there. I've heard grey 'roos don't drink as much as the big red ones and they can't box as well either.!

Aldi is having a sale this weekend for bike gear. Damart long johns are my cold weather friend. They have 3 levels of warmth listed as 1,3 or 5, the 5's are the warmest and best as far as I'm concerned while on the road in the cold. I also have the Olympia mesh jacket and pants that I use year round in the sub-tropics. They keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter with the liners in the pants and jacket.
