Sounds shit
I have been wearing a merino baselayer and the rapha breton jumper or merino track top for most of the cold snap.
Only on the really windy days have I suffered. If I need to protect myself from showers a stowaway has sufficed.
my softshell has been nearly retired as i just sweat too much in it.
have come to the conclusion that I am better off in garments that wick well even in the cold.
on mondays TNRC outing I just had a lightweight merino/nylon jersey on top of a baselayer and wore that for half of it, putting on a stowaway as a wind cheater later on to stay a little warmer as out of the city the wind was a little chillier.
coming to the conclusion that if I am putting in enough effort then heat loss is more the problem than retention.
i hate being really fucking warm on the bike
