There's a saying among sailors: "Waterproof means that once the water gets in, it can't get out again."

  This is the thought I have about chilly/damp weather. If the extent of your time outside is going from one building to another then (at least until the temperature actually drops far enough to become dangerous), less clothing is better. If it's in the mid-30s and slightly drizzling outside, but it's only a 20 minute walk to work, then a t-shirt and jeans are the way to go. The instant you step into a building you'll be warm and dry as a bone while everyone else will be damp and chilled for some time. My jacket only goes on if I perceive a hypothermia risk, and gloves only get used if I think frostbite might become a risk.

  Well, at least it can warm up that way. Indeed, neoprene is pretty effective for bike riding in that kind of weather, even though it gets kind of heavy and sloppy.
