    yes, that's the weather we had today.
    I had on an ibex woolie and over that a short sleeved light wool jersey.
    i put my raincoat on when the rain was really coming down and i had wool knickers and kneesocks. For a while it got chillier and i put my little hat on.

    pretty comfortable.

    If you don't have to be somewhere, like work, layer in wool and forego the jacket.

    I learned on my rain rides that the rain jacket was a 1) steam bath and 2) a sponge. Wool kept me warm although I was drenched.

    that would be 20 c here. Wool is great. I get hot but not drippy. TE has good wool bras I hear. I toss my rain jacket over, when its pouring and wool tends to absorb dampness. Im skinny so I wear a wool singlet, and a wool jumper.
    Conquering illness, one step at time.

    60 isn't quite warm enough for me not to care - around 70 then I just ride fast enough to stay warm

    I have a hand-me-down Goretex suit that doesn't steam up unless I really go fast, and I don't really go fast if it's raining.

    I'm half penguin, though, so often I'll put on one of those sort-of-almost-water-resistant jackets ... basically enough layers so my nipples don't embarrass me... and just ride. Work clothes go in a plastic bag so I can change there. (Wool isn't an option for my silly allergic self.)
