Hi Rob,
After returning safe and very warm from the Armidale trip last week, I concur with Driller about the thermals, I wore a pair of Bonds longjohns under my gear both days and was very warm on the legs.
For the top layer though, I thouroughly recommend a Rivet Rainlock (Freeway) style jacket and leave the space blanket lining in for winter, take it out for summer.
I have never been cold or wet on the bike with that gear.
I also use a silk balaklava in winter which keeps your head warm, stops the visor fogging up and reduces the wind noise considerably.
I love winter riding cause you can rug up and there are fewer road blocks out there. The only problem of course is keeping the bike clean.
