I have a couple of top pieces I love, still waiting to find the perfect shorts. I appreciate the suggestions here and will check some of those out. In chronological order:
-An old patagonia fleece vest with windblock fleece on the front and breathable fleece on the back. It's mint for riding.
-Chromag wool short sleeve riding t's. These check all the boxes for me in the summer and work well in the winter too as layering pieces.
-Stio Eddy shirt. This is fairly new to me, but so far I'm impressed by its versatility. I've been surprised with how warm it keeps me when I layer it over a base piece, even with light rain and wind.
Runner-up: Raceface Agent pants. I really like these for winter riding layered over wool long johns, but they're the only pair of riding-specific pants I've used, so I don't have much to compare them to. Kudos to Andrew for turning me on to them. A belt with some stretch by Arcade pairs nicely with these.
