I've got the wool socks...and the gloves. During the deep of winter I have a wool fleece jacket that I love...but it still needs a windshield. The wind cuts clear through it, taking away all the warmth from my chest, and if it gets wet that problem can be exacerbated.

But on the days when it rains, and is too warm for a full up wool jacket, yet too cold for no jacket, particularly with the moisture, well, that's what my query is about...that, and the difficulties with that stifling nylon job.

I'm strongly considering, after all of the comments here, the Pearl Izumi Vagabond jacket. I can also put my wool under it in winter, and zip the sleeves off in cool weather. Anyone use this jacket?
