Sierra Designs coated nylon jacket with a light pile kayaking sweater. I have since moved to a DWR Stoic Wraith jacket.

This system does have its limits temperature wise but I have used it on tour with overnight lows in the mid teens and been OK. The coldest when it was actually raining that I have used it on tour was probably in the low 40s though.
