Cheapest way to say warm - Sydney Morning Hearld -Newspaper and when you arrive you can have a coffee and read it.
Got caught a couple of years back from Mildura. It was mid May and warm up north, by the time we hit Kinglake it was 1c.
To stop the chill I bought the "Age" (hey, I'm from Melbourne) and put it under my jacket & pants (upper and lower legs) and inside my gloves. Net result is it blocks the wind but allows your body to stay warm.
But when organised!!
Wearing layers upon layers doesn't really work, you want the body to control the heat so ensure you block the wind everywhere (including your boots if you wear lace ups) Make sure your neck is covered and if its really cold, you use a head liner so as not to get the wind between your head and the helmet.
I find "long johns", T-shirt and light wool jumper with my R-Jays works well for me.
Get yourself some good touring gloves; I have the Triumph ones and rate 9/10 for wind, rain and feel.
Short of that, there are many great products out there but we really don't have that many cold days to really justify spending a lot of money on product promises
Cheers
Poddy
