I just got a Tourmaster Transitions Series 2 jacket and rode yesterday in about 45 deg F weather. Core temp was fine, head was fine, fingers got a little chilly on a ~1 hr ride. Gloves are Texport Hipora? with thinsulate. A bit bulky, but seem to do the job pretty well.
I love the jacket now, we'll see about the summer when it gets into the 90s.
