I'm with Porthole, although in N Va, the Stone Lake Bibs are good enough down to the teens... it's the hands and feet I focus on at that point. I'm in my 3rd season of the bibs.

Does that mean that they are only good down to the teens if you live in N Va?    (I couldn't find an icon for scratching my head)

  Web site  Jafrum  has leather pants for about $70 that zip all the way from the waist down.Easier to get into than chaps,warmer & more protection.I ware 34" inseam jeans on the bike & the jafrum pants are about 2" short on the bike.Just right when walking around.Think they claim 32" inseam for all waist sizes.

JMHO if it's cold enough for a heated vest it's cold enough for the sleeves.

Well I have leather pants that go over your jeans, legs zipper all the way up, warmer than chapps, and quicker to get on and off.  So when I got heated gear, I got outer heated pants with the sippered legs.

I wore fleece lined jeans.  I wore those down to zero last winter.

I do this as well. No worries.

Real cold.....long johns underneath.

I wear levis till it gets down in the 50's then wear chaps over the jeans the rest of the winter (it rarely drops below freezing here).  We also have the Gebing jacket liners and heated gloves and Corbin heated seats, too.  I've rode in 24F a couple of times, wore the Shampas under the jeans and chaps when it gets that cold.

Not sure what over pants are.  I've seen pictures of leather bibs but have never saw any in person.....just not a common thing in Cali.

Overpants are a leather pant that goes over jeans. Usually have full zip sides and snaps at the cuffs. Kind of like chaps in that regard. They are warmer than chaps because they don't have the open crotch and back. I have a pair and have worn them on colder mornings. Easy to take off like chaps when it warms up.

I normally wear my jeans untill it goes below 50 F then my chaps over them till about 33F  below that I wear my GMC pickup around my body cause it handles so much better in the snow than my SERG

 Where do you get fleece lined jeans? Never heard of them. Longjohns, bluejeans and claps if it's going to be cold, 30's or low 40's. Good to about the freezing mark. After that I just don't ride very far, but I do ride some every month of the year. Trickle charger, what's that?

I do quite a lot of back country hiking (topo maps, compass, no trail) and have found that the climate control gear translates nicely with riding. Expedition and alpinism outfitters such as North Face, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear and Marmot base their systems on layering.

Base layer, Tight fitting, wicks moisture. I use Patagonia Capaline 4 tops and bottoms

insulating layer , I use the Patagonia R4 jacket. This is windproof fleece! Good stuff since it incorporates the shell layer.

and water/windproof shell The riding environment naturally calls for leather here and since I've already blocked the wind on the outside and insulated the inside, I use Alpinestars Dragster Jacket which breaths great and also insulates and has elbow, shoulder, back and chest protectors. For the bottoms you can use any pants from these companies over leather or fleece pants. I recommend Mountain Hardwear's Windstopper Tech Pants, which are fleece with reinforced knees and butt.

HD has come leaps and bounds from just generic products with a logo; but just my preference I leave the bike building to them and the outfitting to the outfitters. People climb Everest in this stuff. Plus I think purists appreciate seeing purists who aren't just cliched from head to toe in the bar and shield.
