I like my Hincapie baselayers. They are lightweight but work really well under a jersey or light jacket. I also have some mid-weight LL Bean long sleeve baselayers that work when it's really cold.

I prefer to just have windblocking material on the leading edges of my arms and some on my chest. I have a Castelli and a Pearl Izumi that does this and they also have vents to help regulate heat. If I ever need more than that, I'll throw on my lightweight rain jacket. If I get too hot, I can easily ball that up and stuff into a pocket.

Windblocking material on the baselayer seems overkill for where I live but everyone is different so if it works for you, that is great. It may be that I could wear the windblocking baselayer with a lighter jersey or jacket and still stay comfortable. Something to consider.
