Yesterday, as well as full lined textiles, top and bottom, I had M&S thermal long johns, a Rab merino/cocona long sleeve top, and Patagonia ultra light down-filled shirt. Both tops are long enough to tuck well into trousers so sealed at the waist. The down top has a Pertex equivalent shell and so is totally windproof - I can't stress enough how much difference this makes. Pertex is light, breathable and windproof, and makes an ideal layer with other clothing. I just was not aware of the cold temperatures in this rig, and I'm one to feel the cold quite acutely.
