Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I must admit I wonder if the added warmth of the jacket would make it less versatile for me, though. Right now it's dipping down just below freezing and when I'm actually riding, I'm getting away with a Classic Softshell and a thin merino baselayer under it (I freeze when I stop, so you know, don't stop!).

The other day it was maybe 4 or 5 Celcius and I wore the LS Country Jersey over two thin summer baselayers and I was good to go (in fact I have it unzipped for most of the ride).

Basically I run hot (I think?) and I'm slightly worried that I might just cook in the jacket when it starts to warm up a bit.

The softshell is quite a bit warmer than the wind jacket.

Agree that the gilet seems like a lot of money for what it is.
