Most importantly, though, which brand/material do you guys prefer? Anyone use underarmour? (the summer variety)
You hit the nail on the head. armour all is great for heat...But I tried the under armour as a base layer on my (then) 9mile inbound route to work. Even @40F (not that cold), as soon as I go into a decent, the wind would just chill that wicked sweat. Adding layers made things worse.
For starters, you'll probably need (new or used):
* a long sleeve thin wool undershirt
* 1 medium wt or light wt wool zip down or button down sweater
* 1-3 pairs of thin wool socks
* thin wool cap
* soft shell or wind breaker style jacket
* emergency bail out plan if you get too cold or if the weather 'turns'
