Elemental Defense
Your outermost layer-a waterproof, breathable shell- doesn't always require heavy-duty insulation, but a winter jacket should extend below your waist and ideally pack a hood. Pants should be loose-fitting and rise above your waist to banish drafts. Look for sealed seams and elastic or velcro at cuffs and hems.

Gerbings Extreme Element Jacket and Pants
Gerbings G3 Heated Gloves
If you want to keep it simple but still not compromise on cold weather control, Gerbing's XE Jacket and Pants might seal the deal. The new XE garments combine the durability of Cordura with the benefits of Microwire Heat Technology-a microscopic stainless steel wiring developed for the US military.
The 330 denier Cordura and polyurethane coating on the jacket and pants feels the business and we like the fact that you can't feel the wires. Heat sealed seams and waterproof pockets further speak to the jacket's Mother Nature-mocking aspirations, and reflective piping as well as removable CE-rated armor in the shoulder, elbows makes it a good choice in any weather. A generous allotment of pockets gives you plenty of options for storage,too. The XE pants are cut full, so they're best used as overpants. Both garments feature connecting zippers.
