Suggestions of bike clothing lists
Hey all, would like to hear what you all use for long bike touring clothing. I'm having difficulty with choosing what mid-layer/insulating layer I would use. Down vs. fleece vs. synthetic, and from what brand? Would love to hear your whole set up and what company you use too. Thanks!

This is my basic list. It is adjusted for season(s), location, and somewhat for duration. This was for a late summer trip with low temps and high elevations (Canadian Rockies).
Four layers from the above packing list were worn this morning: puff jacket, lightweight fleece, short sleeve jersey, and long sleeve thermal. The temp was just at freezing. All clothing items were worn on this trip.
