It is worth experimenting with...I glanced back through the posts, but didn't immediately see where you are riding...some places have a completely different definition of "cold" than here in East TN (which really isn't). Just keep in mind that we can dehydrate in the cold (not just in heat), so be a bit cautious of the reflective layer until you see how it works for your metabolism...drink water before (during) and after your ride.
