Agree with you about 10 years ago with kit from Rapha / Castelli etc, they had it nailed with Gabba and the PTJ, and have iterated themselves into a thousand options none of which seem to be quite as good (based on ancedotal evidence), although I trust @PhilDAS so maybe this new Rapha one he is on about does the job. Personally over 8/9 degrees baselayer LS jersey and burner or gilet is plenty for me.
To selectively quote Chris Rock:
'...There's no money in the cure, the money is in the medicine. That's how they get paid, on the comeback. That's how a drug dealer makes his money, on the comeback....Shit, that’s like Cadillac making a car that lasts for 50 years. And you know they can do it, but they ain’t going to do nothing that fucking dumb. Shit, they got metal on the Space Shuttle that can go around the Moon and withstand temperatures of up to 20,000 degrees, you mean to tell me you don’t think they can make an El Dorado with a fuckin’ bumper that don’t fall off?'
