If wind is involved-- as in motorcycle-- forget thermals..and buy good wind/rain proof gear with full zip out liners. If you are still cold- spend some more and get heated gear- gloves and vest.
I have a bit ******* in gear....but I'm not cold when I ride anymore-(I ride pretty much all winter, unless there is alot of ice or rain).
I had used the extreme cold thermals from Wal Mart for two years...and still froze (riding like the Michelin man all covered up untill I bought good gear).
