The colder the better.
Stormy days tend to be the most memorable, both because the weather's gnarly and riding's all time, but you'll remember them for all the wrong reasons if your gear's not up to snuff. The Coldgear Infrared Hacker Men's Insulated Jacket is one of the snuffiest jackets you'll find, with a 10K waterproof and breathable membrane to keep you dry, fully taped seams to seal up the tiniest gaps, and a UA Storm DWR coating to keep soggy snow from seeping into the burly polyester fabric.
