yeah i know i used to be warm all the time but since 2010 i have lost 37-40lbs and I am a lot smaller than I was and get cold quick. I also ride about .8 miles and hit a hill that i reach over 30mph on so that messes with my clothing plans a little.
It is always hard to readjust to fall and winter clothing plans. I remember I had things pretty nailed down but I do not remember what I wore for what temps. So I guess i have to figure it out all over again. i could have gone without the arm warmers from the get go. I like the vest because it is bright yellow and has reflective stuff sprinkled across the back.
