I would suggest the heavier weight here because it would be better to have something that works well in really cold temps as a cheap polyester long sleeve runners zip t-neck is easy to procure at the local running store for warmer temps.
I'm interested to know how that high tec base layer is going to work. Let us know.
I tend to avoid all garments with stretch in the name because the added stretch is usually a trade-off with warmth in my mind. But it isn't always the case as a tight fit can help wicking moisture
The MEC T3 hoodie made with powerdry is my essential layer. It is always there from 50F to -40F even if i switch the other layers this one never leave me. Powerdry wick moisture very well and doesn't smell easily but i rarely use it as a base layer as i have other layers more odor resistant.
