Recently when Cross Country Skiing I’ve been wearing my fall / sping jacket which works OK, but not ideal.

I’ve been think of getting something more suited for the task, and I figured it could be used as a cooler temp bicycling jacket as well (I have a windbreaker, which is OK to about 50 or so)

I found this:

And at the bike ship I tried this:

Any ideas appreciated
