Fit is an important part of performance and so are materials -- what works best depends on your specific needs.
One thing I would observe is that most people way overdress in cold weather. Nonintuitively, this is a great way to freeze. If you get wet with sweat, you'll lose tons of heat via conductive transfer -- it's warmer to wear less.
