dressing for winter is shit. At 4° and no wind on a ride that's mid-upper z2 I wear a winter jersey with no baselayer, long bibs (not very thick), neoprene cap, thin buff, medium gloves, overshoes.
It all comes down to how many watts you push, the more watts and the harder you ride the thinner you have to dress while the very same ride at lower intensity and watts can require another layer just to not freeze. You also have to factor in climbing (if you have that) when you ride hilly because you need to be sufficiently warm when you're descending but remember you get real warm on every climb, that leads to me unzipping my jersey at 0° at times because that baselayer is just too warm right now but really necessary a few minutes later. You can't really win imo. On most rides I'm both too hot and too cold.
