I'm warm enough riding, but immediately when I finish, I feel cold/clammy.
Sorry for the slow response, I've been traveling for a couple weeks and haven't had much time online.
The O2 rain jacket does a good job venting sweat vapor while keeping the wind and rain out. I typically ride with a wool base layer and the combo works great.
I've found at warmer temps, the O2 jacket can't vent all my sweat. So if it's rainy and in the mid-50s, I ride with a wool jersey and no jacket. (for the record, I have a hotter core than the average bear).
