That's what I do too. I find 'layering' several t-shirts and shirts much more effective than wearing one, big, heavy jumper/sweater.

Voted for 23-30F, but for the LOWER end of that range. Last night I went out for a walk at about 29F wearing my normal thin zipup hoodie, would have burned up in a winter coat!

I was expecting most people to go for options C and D, but it seems E is the most popular...I wonder how honest some people are with their answers...

I think it depends on conditions. OC, sunny and calm with quickly rising temps, isn't the same as OC with overcast, windy and wet conditions

Ok, for this survey, let's assume conditions are calm, with very little or no wind, therefore minimal "wind chill".
Also, this question is for when you're venturing out for at least 30 minutes or more, on a light stroll (like window shopping etc..), no running, jogging or any other strenuous exercise.

I

Seriously.
#1 I dont wear coats.
#2 I layer up when its single digits(F) but never wear a coat. Even in blizzards.

So to see 14F as the last option is pertty funny.

It would still be the same for me (E). OC-4C without wind just isn't that cold and is easily countered by an extra layer.

Warm jacket goes on when the high is below -20c.

Warmer than -20c is a sweater and leather jacket.

Warmer than 0c is a sweater.

*** this is when my body is adapted to winter temperatures.
