Well...that was a bad move. I did exactly what you said and removed one of the shirts. I ended up still wet but also cold.

With two wool shirts on, I found I was wet but warm... with the one shirt on for the return home I was wet and cold. Everytime my jacket would touch my torso and make contact with the wet shirt, I would get very cold.

Now...im home, I took a warm shower, had some warm tea and soup...but I still feel cold. My chest is freezing and im not to sure what to do about it. Im never wearing a single layer of clothing again in these temps.
