Backcountry Research Super-8 Strap on the TT is the perfect place to stash a ESJ if there is no room elsewhere to easily stow it. It has the benefit of being right there in front of me so I can decide to put the ESJ back on or take it off fast without stopping the ride to faffle with a pack. I use this on my FS bike.
My ESJs of choice are a Patagucci Houdini Vest and Jacket...just depending on the conditions.
On my hardtail I run a half-frame bag so I'll often just bring both ESJs with me and a spare pair of gloves because I've got room to spare. Double stacking both ESJs is at the very least a morale boost in grim conditions even if the results aren't a whole lot different than just wearing one.
