Have you tried one of the Albion burners? Obviously not wind/ water proof but if you pair it with a good outer layer it makes an amazing difference to body temperature. I have raynauds so can struggle to keep my hands and feet warm. Using a burner to keep my core warm makes a massive difference in keeping the extremities comfortable.

No, It’s not my core but shoulders and knees i have issues with I overheat in the middle if i wear unpadded longs over bib tights to keep my knees warm with 2 layers, hence finding longs with thin straps not a chest panel work for me.
Alpha insulation on the shoulders is most of the solution just after the final layer.
My partner suffers from raynauds, she loves the alpha specialized top i bought her, if i get a burner it will be for her.

What do i want to wear over my brevet insulated jacket?
the issues i have are shoulders and knees which feel the cold and once get cold stay cold, if i layer up with bib longs and longs over the top i end up with too many layers and overheat my core, but think i have solved the lower half issue as i have some Pearl izumi wind/waterproof longs to go over some lighter weight sportful bibtights that don’t have much fabric over the middle. if it’s a bit warmer then decent bibtights do the job on their own.
The Brevet jacket works great over the shoulders and i can feel there is a layer of air doing it’s insulation thing. i have various windshells and a couple of heavier soft shells (castelli Mortirolo) but i want some kind of stretchy jacket that will breathe, be wind/shower proof but not a full on hardshell.
does such a thing exist? not a noisy rain thing that’s boil in the bag and not a long sleeve jersey as i have those too.
doesn’t have to be Rapha and if it’s in the sale even better.
