wow, amazed by this (!),
The Howies stuff is great as off bike wear, but it is utterly useless on the bike.
i wear a howies base-layer every day (light in summer, full-weight in winter) finding them pretty perfect for cycling-in,
must note finding the sizing a little odd of late though (e.g. a recently purchased merino base layer is size S, but still has plenty of space - consistent with miro_o's comments; where as size S used to fit very snugly; as for some merino long-johns, started with M, then L, now awaiting XL!! - despite having a 32" waist; at least returns are free!)
This ^ in spades.

The Rapha base layers are their best product by some margin.
