I find there are basically 4 temp spreads I have to dress differently for.
(1) below 40 degrees
(2) 40-65
(3) 65-85
(4) above 85
(1) Below 40: calls for cold weather gear.. Base layer top and bottom, jeans, textile riding pants over jeans, long sleeve shirt, heated jacket liner, heavy textile jacket, tall boots, balaclava, full helmet, heavy gloves
(2) 40-65 basically the same only skip heated jacket liner, and heavy gloves, wear windproof shirt under heavy jacket, jeans or base layer pants (not both) under textile riding pants, wear balaclava till it gets over 50, deerskin gloves, tall boots, full helmet
(3) 65-85. Skip base layer, skip jeans, wear C9 t shirt and windproof shirt under med jacket, shed windproof shirt over 75, textile riding pants over C9 shorts, medium textile jacket, deerskin gloves, short or tall boots, either 3/4 or full helmet
(4) above 85... Tshirt and shorts under textile riding pants, mesh riding jacket, mesh gloves, short riding boots, 3/4 helmet
So 3 jackets..heavy, med, mesh
1 heated jacket liner
1 windproof over shirt
1 long sleeve T shirt
1 base layer top
1 base layer bottom
1 C9 t shirt
1 C9 shorts
1 jeans
3 pr gloves heavy, deerskin and mesh
1 Textile riding pants
1 tall boots
1 short boots
2 helmets... full helmet, 3/4 helmet
The above will take me from below freezing to above 100
Usually in late spring, summer and early fall you can see a 30 degree temp spread here. Got to dress in layers.
In early spring, late fall and winter that may go to a 10 degree temp spread
