38F, wet from yesterday's rain. I overdressed - still finding that balance between 'oh crap it's winter' and too much clothing.
I've been enjoying my Nashbar fall/winter jacket that I recently picked up for just $20. It's very bright, reflective, supposed to be water proof (or resistant), and thicker than my wind shell. In colder temps it can replace 2 layers that I used to wear. So when it gets into the 20's F I used to don as many as 4 layers including my outer wind shell, but with this new jacket I'll probably only need 3 layers at the most. I've ridden in the upper 30's with just a base layer and the jacket and was quite comfortable.
This is what I got, unfortunately the huge sizes and red color is all they have left. I got an XL high-viz yellow.
