Yea so I've got a long sleeve jersey that is pretty comfy down into the 40s...lower than that and I get out the fleece lined softshell jacket, which with a thin wool sweater works down to 10F or so. I guess really my question was about the bottoms. I had been doing wool tights under MTB shorts when it got cold...but that's overkill at 55+...but I don't like cold legs so I did it anyway haha. Seems like the leg warmers are exactly what I'm looking for. I always assumed they would just fall down, or bunch up...
It's real easy to overheat when your legs are too warm. I just wear wind-blocking pants until around 15 F, then a merino layer underneath. Lot of hills around here, the work keeps you warm.
Have a warm drink before you leave, and dress for a few miles down the road.
