I have three, in order of increasing warth.
Hmmm, I suppose when you say it like that…
I’ve got boggo standard long sleeve jerseys when it’s a bit cool, although arm warmers and a gilet arguably do a similar job and are more versatile.
I’ve got a really old Endura top which might be an MT500 but not sure. It’s an MTB top but it’s great on the road as the material is thin, but very wind proof. That one generally goes on when it gets to that temp where the cold wind is enough to prevent you warming up, even when working hard.
Then I’ve got the Decathlon softshell linked to above. That is very warm and I likely wouldn’t go out on the bike in conditions where that wasn’t suitable, but I suspect above 6 or 7 degrees it would be too warm.
Like you say, a thin emergency waterproof definitely is a good idea if you end up having to stop unexpectedly.
