If you want a cheap DIY version, you can buy surplus M65 jacket liners for
about $10. The sleeves come off easily by snipping some stitching. Some
have buttons on one
Minus33 is my favorite in heavier-weight merino. I like the way they

150 weight sounds a bit light for your temperatures, however if you have a
full windbreaker and keep active it may be fine. I would guess 200 - 250
weight would possibly be a good weight for you. Quarter zip with a collar
is a great combination, as unzipped with the neck rolled back lets a lot

Any insulative layer. I tested this in the extreme early on, putting on a

the washer, which doesn’t spin dry welll) and my Ventile jackt and then riding

I use a wool fishnet longjohn top base layer. With it, I then can insulate with
any fabric, including cotton flanel. It’s highly effective at moisture
management and that is key to staying warm when aerobic activity is involved,
especially when stops happen and you cool down. You can test the
Thanks for the suggestion, Will. The vest version of the liner jacket is
appealing to me. I would prefer a standup collar but as you point out, a neck

I'd recommend going with a Wiggy's long sleeve liner jacket. It's
inexpensive, very easy to wash and dry, and has knit cuffs which really
facilitate wearing gloves. I use mine with a neck gaiter (available
everywhere) and a wind-resistant super light shell. I live in Wisconsin,

Think about the weight of an average cotton T-shirt (not a high-end pima

heavier than that in order to have enough material to support the
construction necessary for the zipper. Been happy with Smartwool.
