Body warmer suggestion?
I’m searching for a full-zip body warmer (gilet / vest) which is made of the Windstopper fabric, and offers insulation for sub-zero* winter temperatures while being somewhat breathable. Preferably not too bulky (foldable).
Anyone any luck with winter body warmers?
* ... and offers an additional protection layer against the cold (<0°C) and wind.

When you say sub-zero do you mean centigrade?

Suggestion: Gore Phantom 2.0 jacket. I own two of these, first a size Lg. and then a Med. since I lost so much weight cycling
- Windstopper fabric, feels like you're riding behind a brick wall of wind protection
- full zip
- breathable back panel
- removable zippered sleeves make it into a vest (with built-in thin shortsleeves)
- with a thin base layer, this combo worked for me down to -10 C.
