I'm in the same camp as you... I need to buy something quick but there's too much to choose from... I think I'd personally take a punt on the 3.0 if you're gonna be dry riding. I've now got my eyes on the Zoa rain shell but no mediums in black!

Hey, so I have the 2.0 insulated jacket but I think the design differences are minor. I also run warm. I've done some 'decent clip' rides in about 6-8 degrees in it. With a LS baselayer, the house jersey and the insulated jacket on top I was warm - like very warm. Two way zip is great to create some circulation-of-your-choice as when I was working hard things heated up. Jacket is so light that it kinda messes with my head as it's so warm, usually need a lot more bulk for that kind of insulation. You stop on the roadside and the heat just leakes out, freaky.
Personally I think if you're moving well just a ss jersey and the jacket would be enough, needs to be below 4 before I'd start thinking about layering. I've got an insulated gilet (ultralight insulated may also work) on the way which I think may be better for faster 50 Mile Centrist Dad Loops when it's not bitterly cold out. For longer, steadier stuff though the insulated jacket is probably boss but I have the family swim at 11:30 and to misquote Íñigo San Millán nobody ever won a race in zone 3 but they certainly made it home on time

Also making this decision! the Ultralight being billed as super packable etc makes me wonder whether its the right thing for everyday use

So, please make a decision for me.
I’m going for the three season pocket tights and am thinking of a jacket for 0 to 10 degrees (dry) weather done usually at a decent clip and also Festive 500.
I’ve asked @Chopsicle about this before and had some really handy feedback, but does anyone have a view for Insulated Jacket 3.0 vs Ultralight Insulated? Or, god forbid, any other suggestions?
