Interesting topic which will usually causes quite a debate. I have reloaded my cool weather arsenal this fall and will use my new clothing with some clothing from last year. I have grown tired of my office smelling like a gym locker so I bought some wool clothing.

I now have two sets of wool arm warmers, one set of wool knee warmers, two wool jerseys by www.woolistic.com and two wool base layer jerseys. Throughout the winter I wear wool socks.

On days where the temps will stay above 32F or 0C:
For days that it will not rain, I will wear a vest and a fanny pack.
For days that it will rain I will wear a rain jacket and maybe rain pants and my trustworthy fanny pack.

For days that will stay below below 32F or 0C and not raining:
I will wear a wool base layer and my suisse tech thermal jacket and a pair of foxwear thermal tights that have a windproof front and an articulated knee.

I also will be switching to a wool cycling cap.

My clothing might sound like overkill, but if I do the cross country trip in June, my morning commute will increase to 40 miles with a 25 mile return trip home.
