Does anyone else think wool as spare clothing is bulky when saddlebag'd?
1 pair of riding shorts, 1 pair of hiking type shorts, wool jersey, arm warmers, wind vest, adiamo underwear (can ride in them), 1 ibex woolie is sort of an absolute base for me. swap some thin man-pris for the hiking shorts if in the fall / spring.
patagonia nano puff or micro puff down sweater (no hood), etc. for cooler temps.
really depends. the thin ibex baselayers compress down small.
