Weather conditions were partly cloudy, 34F, windy from the NW.

Smartwool liner socks
Darn Tough wool over the calf socks
Sidi summer shoes 1/2 size larger to accommodate the socks
LG toe covers
LG booties
Ibex wool bib knickers
Ibex A-shirt wool base layer
Smartwool long sleeve full zip jersey
Ibex beanie under helmet
Sugoi helmet cover
EMS Gore-tex gauntlet style gloves with primaloft insulation
Showers Pass soft shell jacket
Bolle sunglasses with prescription insert

I was quite comfortable even riding into the wind. The EMS gloves are the warmest I've ever had but not as good as mittens. I also have a pair of Hestra 3 finger ski mitts which I'm saving for colder temps. The SP jacket is nice because the fit is quite snug so very little wind drag and vents that can be opened. I like the wool stuff, it's comfortable and I think it works in a wider range of temps than the synthetics. Also doesn't smell . My feet and hands are the big problems. Bar Mitts work well. The downside is if it's windy they tend to act as a sail.
