20° summer wear
19° long sleeve thin appropriate at outset. Half finger gloves. Shorts
18° long sleeve or t-shirt under summer wear. Half finger gloves. Shorts.
17° No more summer wear! Long sleeve a little chilly at outset. Half finger gloves. Shorts.
16° "40%" nearly rain. Suddenly Biemme thinnish long sleeve fleece! It was okay too. Half finger gloves. Shorts.
17° Light rain. Goretex and long sleeve thin. Full finger gloves. Shorts. A bit sweaty on the way out but when the rain came down, just right.
16° long sleeved thin with T-shirt. No rain. Full finger gloves. Shorts. Could do without the T once warmed up but nice at first.
14° Biemme thinnish long sleeve fleece. A bit cold at first but just right later. No rain. Full finger gloves. Shorts.
14° Thin long sleeve over thick t-shirt and orange neck-warmer. thin long pants. Full finger gloves. I did not need the neck-warmer, nor on another day, a thick T-shirt
12° Biemme thinnish long sleeve fleece with T-shirt. Impermeable neck-warmer. No rain. Full finger gloves. Long thin pants. Any colder and I need fleece glove liners and perhaps shoe covers
11° Thin (yellow) long sleeve top over red long sleeve cotton shirt ("lemons") and t-shirt. Full finger gloves. Thin neck-warmer. I did not need the fleece gloves, nor even the neck warmer by Niho.
9° Thin (orange) long sleeve top over thick long sleeve cotton shirt (stripes) and T-shirt. Thick large neck-warmer. Think long finger gloves over fleece gloves. Thin long pants. Okay. A slightly thinner neck-warmer would have been fine.
7°Thin (yellow) long sleeve top over thick long sleeve cotton shirt (stripes) and T-shirt. Thin (camouflage) neck-warmer. Think long finger gloves over fleece gloves. Thin long pants. Only just! Slight finger freeze into the Niho North Wind
7° Shimano winter cycling over fleece gloves. Shimano only would do. First triangular neck warmer. Two T-shirts NOT needed.
7° (Threatening rain) Shimano winter cycling gloves. Green Goretex top over thin long sleeve top and t-shirt. Thin pants over long johns (latter prob not needed) Shoe covers. Great!
6° The UFO cotton gloves can just about be used by not the yellow Seven ones. Biemme or Thin ove thick cotton
5° Time for Shimano gloves. Shimano or Biemme top on t shirt
1° Shoe covers. Snowboarding gloves over fleece (and still cold by Niho). Shimano top over long sleeve cotton.
The temperature has decreased fast but I have not had time to update this.
4° (3°?) Even Yasuko's snowboarding gloves hurt at Niho with 100 yen shop liners. At about the same temperature to Iwaya, red fleece liners made it just about bearable.
3° Lobster with red liners, Shimano neon yellow top with long sleeved cotton stripey shirt, shoe covers, long-johns and thin yellow pants -- Perfect.

But <3° and my hands will freeze. Shimano (or the new gloves on order) under lobster may work to 2°. 1° will require fairings.

Thin over cotton = Biemme so the former on days when it is going to get warm in the day. 10° is limit of cotton gloves on their own.
5° is the limit of best cotton gloves over fleece
> 4° and below shoe covers I think
> 3° snowboard or lobster gloves maybe.
< 3° lobster gloves
I think
< 2° fairing
