^ I have a 10k jacket and 15k pants. I've never been wet at the end of the day, except from sweating. For a base layer, I wouldn't worry about buying something. Even on the coldest days at Sun Peaks, I've been warm, almost hot with just my jacket and a heavier hoodie or fleece sweater under it. Remember, you might be chilly standing around, but once you get moving you heat up right away. Don't make either time unbearably cold/hot.

One thing to note, get warm gloves/boots/socks. Your body takes blood from these areas first when you're cold. If you're not worried about being able to use individual fingers, buy mitts; they're warmer. Don't do what my friend used to do and double up on socks in exchange for warm socks either; it does the opposite of keep you warm.
