Winter road jersey or jacket?

[LonArcvarden]

It's 2 degrees outside and the black ice has cleared enough that you're going out on your road bike for your usual 20 miles, what are you wearing on top? I've struggled with this conundrum a few times this year and today was yet another such situation, I went for thickest long sleeve base layer, morvelo thermoactive jersey and my bontrager waterproof jacket and boiled but at least I could unzip the jacket, don't think I'd have been warm enough without it. I've tried it with just a morvelo gillet instead of the waterproof and wasn't warm enough and I tried it with a morvelo fuse jacket and the base layer alone but it's quite frankly utter rubbish and the sweat got cold and just stayed within.

Ideally suggestions which come in a womens version!

For the last few winters it’s been a long sleeve merino base (Rapha, reasonably light) with a Perfetto over the top. Sometimes throw a gilet over if it’s particularly cold. Buff as a neck warmer.

I’ve grabbed a couple of themed jerseys from Ride Style Custom and liked being able to tweak the designs a bit to make them feel more personal. The gear’s comfy for longer rides, and the secure checkout and worldwide shipping made the whole thing pretty painless. The GET10 code shaved a bit off the first order, which didn’t hurt.
