Well as you know, over England at the moment we are having freezing temps. I have been using just one of them mountain hardwear long sleeve vests with a heavy duty yellow coat on top...you know the ones that road workers and such use. I have to say I get sweaty in it but I am allergic to wool...it itches like hell. Also I find no matter what type of gloves I wear, my hands are always cold in fact fingers white and numb..I may consider arctic mittens sometime...that is why this one does his tours in the summertime
