Thanks for the great advice.
I went with the Stohlquist Treads Paddling Pants and Jacket. Hopefully combined with some sweat pants, neoprene boots, and a shirt, I should stay warm enough. I figure a beanie should be good for head warmth, anything for hands? or not necessary?

I got some gloves just to keep from chafing my hands on long paddling sessions. Not sure if you're paddling or pedaling, but I think think gloves are a nice touch either way.

I'm a cold weather weenie. So for me, Kokatat pants with polyester sweatpants (no cotton!), smart wool socks and light weight dive booties. On top is a polypro rash guard, polyester fleece sweatshirt and Kokatat splash jacket. Wool watch cap. I can peel off the layers as needed. I haven't felt the need for gloves. Keeps me toasty warm at 0:dark:30 waiting for the

to bite. Oh, and a few granola bars keep the internal furnace burning.
