Great stuff, thanks. Got some good ideas there.

I've just ordered me the following:
- a couple of thermal bib knickers (Castelli Trios, from PBK)
- a couple of thicker jerseys (Gore, dhb)
- a bunch of base layers (synthetics, unfortunately - had ordered these before going to Bhutan, they didnt arrive on time)
- arm and leg warmers
- shoe covers
- a Castelli Leggero vest

The main problem I had was on the climbs: if I opened up the zipper of my thicker jersey or windproof shell, I was getting cold (wind!), but if I kept it closed, I was over-heating. What I was (and still am) missing is the outermost windproof layer, ideally something windproof in the front and meshed/vented on the back and sides. Reckon the Leggero will be enough, or should I get something a little thicker?

Thanks,
V.
