I'm pretty cold resistant, but this morning was not pleasant. 55 degree in a light summer T and cotton shorts. Thaaaaat was uncomfortable. Need to buy a couple long sleeve shirts clearly. I'll look at some thicker shorts or something. As tacky as this sounds, has anyone had luck with cutting sweatpants down, or similar?
Take a look at your local Target if you have one. Their "Champion" line of sportswear has been really effective for me, and a lot cheaper than the Under Armor brand. I've got some long sleeve technical tees that wick really well and are around $12. In the 30's I normally wear my work clothes (jeans and t-shirt) with a long sleeve wicking shirt underneath and then a windbreaker jacket on top. The Jacket has lots of ventilation so I can open it up when I heat up and the shirt helps wick away any sweat pretty quickly.
