I felt much better today, wearing thinner layers. Although, I was so cold when I first got in my car, I had to crank up the heat. I wore the Smart Wool base layer and a thinly lined Athleta quarter zip t-neck. I wore my Gore cycling jacket instead of my Golite. I didn't have to open the pit zips, though. The jacket is thinner than the Golite, but much shorter; some of my mid layers would be hanging out.
I spent some time perusing soft shells, recommended x country jackets on line before I left to ski today. It seemed confusing to me. Some people use soft shells as a mid layer and some use them for the outer layer? Some were on sale now, but I am not sure I want to order on line. For now, I will stick to the wool base layer, no matter how my skin feels and perhaps invest in some lighter weight mid layers. There's a new store in town that sells Ibex and I will probably head over there to buy the bra later in the week, since it will be impossible to find it on sale.
