My legs and feet actually never get cold.
I don't think i've ever worn that much clothing at the same time in all of my lifetime.
Maybe if i was doing a North Pole expedition.
Normally a short sleeved shirt under my jacket,vor if it goes below freezing like today i'll add a vest :lol
You seriously need to invest in heated grips, they'll make a massive difference to you out in the cold, compared to not having them at all.

Saying heated grips "are not for me" is just plain daft, they're for everyone who rides in cold weather, whether it's a short or long journey.
It's like going outside in the snowy weather without a jacket on. Neither are compulsory to have, but i promise you they'll both make you feel a damn site more comfortable.
