For what temperature & weather conditions? Hezz is right, read his post again.

For my upperbody I have 3 different shells, and two different insulating layers, and 3 different overpant options that I use in varying combinations for all temperatures and weather conditions from 40 to -20. Personally, I prefer natural fibers (wool, silk and cotton), because they breathe better than man-made (particularly wool and cotton). Your biggest problem in staying warm in the cold of the winter is your own body moisture which gets trapped and then chills your extremities.
