I usually need at least knee or leg covers and a baselayer under the jersey for 50F to 59F. Could also get away with less but might as well feel comfy.

Its amazing how many pedestrians don't see me in New York City. I think its either a zombie syndrome, I'm not loud enough or a case of SMIDGAF. Not sure which.
