Clothing for cold weather

I started biking again over the summer but cold weather has hit.
I have plenty of sweats and long under wear but I need advice on wind
breaking.

Spicy salami.

opinions first. What do you think?

Thanks,

I like a windproof vest (mine is windproof in front and has a mesh back)
over all other layers. Today it was 41 F when I went out and I wore a
mid-weight long undershirt, a lightweight fleece jacket, and the vest
over the top. I wore bike shorts with fleece tights over them. I got a
little hot at times but could unzip, and going downhill I continued to
be glad I could zip the vest up again. I would have felt too sweaty in
a windbreaker jacket. I wore double gloves and wrist warmers, wool
socks, and a fairly light earband.

The lightweight Pearl-Izumi jacket my wife gave me for Christmas last
year seems to provide exceptional wind protection. I took a long-ish
ride (~2.5 hrs.) this weekend with temps in the low-mid 30's and a
consistent wind at about 10MPH. I only needed a long-sleeve jersey
underneath my jacket. I was chilly when I started out, but after ~15
minutes I was fine, even riding directly into the wind.
(Note - I did wear a thin balaclava to protect my noggin/ears.)
