Good news then. Did you ever feel the need for another layer? Especially on your legs?
That's 4 layers of thermal and personal environment protection when walking [ or 3 .5 if we treat the vest as a half layer, would you have got cold quickly after stopping or did you feel confident that if the temperatures dropped another ten degrees you would have been warm enough when static?

I could have possibly had another layer on my legs, but it wasn't too bad.

I reckon if the temp had dropped another 10 degrees I still would have been ok standing around with what I had on. Stopped many times during the walk to take pics etc.
