Lowest I've gone out was about 4F and I had on a fleece sweater plus the jacket and a hat. The jacket's extremely warm, the only thing was that my lungs were freezing and my toes were frozen. So yea, remember to layer up in the extremities.
This is the route I'd like to go. The other day it was 31F and I just didn't feel like dressing in all those layers. So I grabbed my REI Softshell with pitzips and left the zips open and a jersey. That worked great!
For the pants I wore the Shower's Pass rain pants and a 2nd thin wind pants. Worked great. Less stuff to hang up upon arriving at work!
Edited: Opps about 3/4 of the way I got too hot and had to just ride the rest of the way in the jersey. The first mile or so was chilly but after about a 2mile climb I warmed right up.
