I've got the Hein Gericke Pathan 4 finger jobbies,they are pretty good too.I could'nt get on with the 'lobster claw' 2 finger variety.
My winter neck warmer is a fleece thing that was free with 'BIKE' magazine a couple of years ago.
Helmet,.....hmmm,my Shoei was a bit draughty on the run over to Mablethorpe last week,so I may blow the cobwebs off the Arai and try that next.

I use Dainese winter race gloves, expensive but very toasty and waterproof. The titanium knuckles come handy...

Ali, i swear by the Hein Gericke Pathan lobster claw/ 2 finger type gloves, if its really cold than a set of thin silk inner gloves work wonders.

My dainese jacket has a high collar so i just use a thin buff type neck warmer to seal the gap. Personally i don't like the really thick neck warmers as they tend to restrict head movement a bit.

But by far the best thing is a heated waist coat, i use one made by 'Chilli' pain for short round the block trips trips where you need to get on and off the bike a lot, but absolutely superb for anything more than 30 minutes on the bike. By keeping your body core warm it really helps keeping extremities warm.

Daytona armoured goretex boots with a pair of thin and pair of thick fleecy socks work for me.
